New guy with a question

Hello my name is Brian and im in the process of buying a 1999 z28 camaro. The only thing I'm worried about is that since i have yet to sit in the car because of having to go back to college, im wondering how well i will fit in the car. I'm a decently big guy, about 6 2 and about 275 pounds. The car im actually buying is in extremely good condition and at a good price, and i can't wait to long to actually buy it because it could be gone any day. My dad will actually put the down payment on it while im at school, and i won't actually be able to test drive it till i actually own it. My dad is a pretty big guy as well about 6 4 and about 240 and he says its a little tight, but he has quite a beer gut so im not to worried. Well that's about it, anything that could help me out would be great, thanks

Re: New guy with a question

well welcome... and speaking as a 6'2 guy I find there to be adaquate leg room, I dont even have to push the seat all the way back. Although there is not much room left behind me for anyone else I have had a 6'3 dude behind me. I cant say much for the side ways room Im 190lbs but I can tell you with an electric seat you got all sorts of angles you can put the seat. Good luck with your purchase!

Re: New guy with a question

I am 6'4" and weigh 237 Lbs. I fit very easily without moving my seat all the way back. I do not have a gut though. But I am very close to your dads size. I think you will be just fine. Oh, and I had power seats and T-Tops if it matters.

Re: New guy with a question

I'm a bit over 6ft tall, & I didn't have much of a problem fitting in them when I weighed over 300 pounds.

Re: New guy with a question

Welcome to the site. I'm just average height (6'0") but can confirm that two middle aged people dedicated to acting like teenagers can both fit in the front seat...
