5'10 and 120 lbs, if anything this car is too BIG for me. Any turn I make slides me across the seat. Even wearing my helmet at the track I've got headroom to spare.

I used to be like that, 5' 10" 130lb when I first got my firebird, I had issues staying in the seats on hard turns. If anyone were in the car to witness it i'm sure they would be in tears laughing, We really need a "cinch" feature on the seat belts like the C4 corvette had.

My solution was workout a lot, then eat really good over the winter, and minimize caloric burn LOL that adds a quick 60lb!

Yeah why does it seem the drivers have more room than the passengers in these cars, I rode in the passenger seat one day and I felt like I was in a toyota corrolla w/the seat all the way up...??? lol

if your doors are that close the car next to you, you need to park somewhere else. Its worth walking a few more feet
not always. Parking in nowhere is usually where the loose shoping cart end up...

I've always liked Fbodies due to their spacious cabins for the driver. They really are a vehicle built with just the driver in mind I feel. I mean rear passengers have head room also, but no leg room, same deal with the passenger seat, you have the awkward hump in the floor to deal with. I'm 5'11", 185 and have a Corbeau Forza and six point bar in the car, I get in and out easily. I also sit in the back of my roommate's Z28 with no issue.

Yeah some of you are crazy tall, its rare for me to see someone over 6' in my day to day journey around town.

Latch/$750 L98, buy a good seat. Even adding weight won't help, I was 190+ the whole time I was in the Navy, went through Yosemite one day, I was sliding all over my cloth seat!
