How tool is too tall for an LSX Camaro/Firebird
This is an odd topic/question. I had an LT1 M6 for a long time; sold it about 2 years ago. I am looking to get another weekend toy to play with. I am thinking about stepping up to the LS1 this time around. I know from test driving an A4 LS1 car a long time ago that the interior room is not great. I am 6'7" tall; do you think I will have enough room to shift an LSX camaro/firebird, or am I stuck going back to the LTX cars? Thought I would throw this question out and see what you guys thought...
Thanks,
Brian

rocky, i'm 6,3 and a half @ 278lbs and i fit i can even straighten my legs out. thats why i stuck with a camaro gotta lean the seat back though and i feel like i'm sitting on the ground. but sitting in a 4th gen is like sitting in the cockpit of a jet fighter as compared to the new mustang like sitting in a church pew! haha!! i think you'll be fine. thats the reason i don't have a vette. i don't fit . good luck on your search... the oldman...

I'm not sure why you would think that an LT1 F-body would have any more room than an LS1 F-body. The entire interior is interchangeable, all the dementions are effectively the same.

I think the LSX dash comes down lower by the steering wheel or something; and that is where the leg room is comprimised?? But if you all are not having any issues; that is definately reassuring to me....

I'm not sure which dash you have in mind. The Camaro dash was a bit different in '93-'96, but the '97 was still an LT1 car....and the dash in it was the same from '97-'02. As for the Firebirds/TAs, those dashes remained basically unchanged from '93-'02.
