Kevin is 6' 2" and fit easily. In fact his exact comment was "I had to move the seat up to reach the pedals"
I'm 5'11". Kevin took our rental out for a ride. His seating postion to me was more like 6'5" when I got in to drive following/ I had to move the seat way up.

What about the roof height overall inside the Production Camaro's. I know the concept car had somewhat of a chopped roof height issue and Im aware they addressed this on the production car. So here is one of my issues Id like to ask the lucky few who got to see and sit in the 5th gen.s I've sat in cars like the Audi TT, Chrysler 300 C and Charger all with the relatively high belt line and gun sight windows.
In the TT I felt like I was in a box being that the belt line was so high to the height of the side and front glass. Im no basketball player, but one of my main concerns is that when you sit in the new Camaro your head isn't touching the roof or the roof isn't made where you have to duck to a certain degree in the seating position itself.
Im 5'11 and my other main question is can you lay your arm on the window sill comfortabley or are you sitting more like in a corvette where you're on the floor literally? I like just cruising with the window down and arm on the sill without having to reach up like Im trying to crawl out.
One more thing I know you can only say so much , so I'll keep it simple. Did any of the interiors have a color matching theme to the outside color? Like the PT Cruiser, VW Bug, Charger etc?
Anyway I can't wait for the new Camaro to show up at the dealerships, black, red and silver...those are the only colors we need.
Thanks

We don't have an answer for that one. I do know that even if they don't right away, they are looking far ahead with development. They made sure they covered that. This isn't a painting that is done once and for all and that's it. The refinement is going a long way beyond what will be arrive in the showrooms next spring.
I'd also like the LS7, but that's not going to happen.

defintely. (Dad of 5 and 6 year old boys, I was paying attention to that one) Teri and Jason had enough room to bounce around.
