I too am 6'5" and 320 and I don't have a problem getting in and out but the top of the seatback usually hits me right a the bottom of the neck and since its a vert I alway get a nice hairdo when I do any freeway driving.

6'1" - 229 and ingress/egress is fine but being lowered does not help!
The drivers space is about equal to my C230 but the Benz is a B!TCH to get in and out of. I need more leg room in both...

No wonder half of LS1tech hates C4 corvettes, I'm 5'10" at 190lb, I believe 80-90% of those in this thread wouldn't fit in that car. Now F-bods, no excuses, those things have a laaaarge driver's area - no pass. side is a different story.

6'2" 280lbs. In my stock height z28, drivers side no problems, passenger side feels a little tighter though. In my cousins z28 which is lowered 1.5" I have to give a little more effort in order to get out.

6'3" and about 275 lbs. I have had this car since 2000 and love the fit. I am currently thinking about dumping my 03' Accord dd to pick up a v6 4th gen f-body. Love the ride.

Am I really that short? Or do you guys use some sort of wacky measurement system. Imperial, obscure metric or what? I'm not short, at 5' 10" I am usually not the shortest person anywhere I go, but holy crap the lot of you are tall sonuvaguns. You guys aren't using the measurement strips you see when walking out of the "quickie mart" are you?
