That's weird...Chris Frezza, who is at least the same height as you fits fine. We also had a 6'-10" site member who was at our NAIAS meeting who managed to fit with some seat adjustments but heck...he is nearly 7 feet tall! Of course, it all depends on the person's proportions. Were you in a sunroof car? If so, try a non-sunroof version when you can, they should have a bit more room. Not much, but some can make a world of difference.

Nice pics, that answers a lot of questions about the battery, etc.

Head Room

Thanks Jason. And yes, I was in both of the open Camaros at the Chicago Auto Show and they both had sunroofs. It did seem odd that when I sat in the Vette I had plenty of head room. I appreciate the feedback.
