Default C7 Non-ZR51 Coupe Width

Published specs states width w/o mirrors is 72.9 inches. Can someone provide width with mirrors? I have a small garage door width to deal with.
Thanks

I don't have an answer on the width, but I imagine you should be ok. I don't remember seeing a standard garage door smaller than 8' wide. I've got a pair of those on my garage and as long as I hit it straight in, I never had a problem with the C5...

C5 published specs states width w/o mirrors is 73.6 inches. Garage door is 8 footer; still believe I'm OK?

Probably the same as the C6 which is ~82 5/8" across the mirrors. I park my Z06 under one of my 4-post lifts that has 92 1/2" distance between the posts. When I change the oil I drive it on the lift with 90" between the cables.

If the c7 is truly an international car shouldn't there be a switch to fold the mirrors in.

Being a person with poor spatial judgment, I like your thinking.

All, thanks for your input.

I agree. Just measured my 8-foot garage door and from molding to molding it's 93 1/2 inches! Also I did see in some of the GM info that the mirrors on the C7 are wider for better visability- did not mention how much. Sure hope it’s not much more than my C6. Especially at night with having to straighten it out to be sure I am at 90 degrees takes a few back and forth movements! Think I’ll move my street rod from the center garage to the end where the C6 Vette was! With my wife’s Cayenne, we just turn a switch to get the SUV mirrors tucked in. For European sales, the Vette must have the same deal. Guess it all boils down to money!
Hate to think I have to get out and tuck the mirrors in by hand when it’s dark!!
