I saw some kid with his seat so far back in his damn dub-mobile that his torso was turned 45* just so 1 arm could reach the wheel

I just like having my legs streched out. It's an A4 so I don't have to push the clutch in. Personal preferance. Like most things. But I do think a big guy would be unhappy with the car. And the previous '97 and '01 V-6 birds manual seats went further back. I don't think my legs grew.

I'm 6'5, 260 with no issues in the fbody. I think the biggest problem with 450 lbs will be getting out of such a low car. You're going to have to pull on the door or ttops to help. Also the doors are so long, if someone parks close to you it's difficult to open the door enough to get in or out. Especially as wide as 450 lbs must be.

I am 6'1" and a little over 300lbs. I feel that I have lots of room in the car. Many other cars feel cramped to me after being in the Camaro. As has already been said, the door length can be an issue if you wind up in a tight parking spot.

But the GTO's seats are way better. F-bods are a lil flimsy. A grand national is not a bad option either. But 20 year old seats will take a beating. And its very easy to make up for the extra weight in a turbo car. They are a more open car inside. I know as my pops has a 87 T-type. Also no shifting to cramp you up. Hell out of my cars you would prob fit best in my civic. Talk about nothin bein clutterin up the inside.... Well not the new ones.
