Default Trans-am or camaro?

I was talking to a guy the other day that has a trans-am and he swears the trans-ams are way more comfortable for taller people than camaros. He is like 6' 5" and I myself am 6' 3". He told me that he can actually strech his legs out in the t/a and he that he finds the camaro to small for taller people. Does the t/a have more leg room than the camaro? Which one would be better suited for a taller person?

I'm 6'6 and quite comfortable in my TA. I can't think of any car I've ever been able to "stretch out" in.

As JRP showed, they are the same, except that the Camaro has more hip room in the coupe.( rear-room? who the hell needs it

Had a 98 Trans Am, and now I have a 99 Camaro. The only interior difference is the headrest. The amount of room is equal, but the Trans Am had an adjustable and higher headrest which for me was more comfortable. Otherwise there is no difference.
