Default I'm 6'7" 230lbs and I Fit Fine In a C7, Pics!

A local dealership got one in today and I got to sit in it. Stop worrying guys, it was a tight fit but I fit non the less.

Nice to know, but it doesn't necessarily mean much unfortunately.
Every body style is different, I'm only (compared to you) 6'4" tall, but could not under any circumstances fit in a C6 coupe. Believe me I tried 7 ways from Sunday but my waist to head size is long, and my legs are not so long. I couldn't make it work, had to get the vert.

Are you pretty even or longer legs or torso? Plus some folks just can't take being an inch or so from surfaces, I'm probably one of those folks. what happens if I hit a bump? Ouch!

Curious, was there a ridge where the back of the removable top meets the car body? On the C6 it was right where my head would hit, how is that transition on the C7.

Im pretty even body wise, I slummped down a little in the seat and put my knees up a little because the steering wheel gave my knees alot of clearance. Pics are fixed.

One with you in the seat would be best.

I'm 6'6" and like the OP, I fit perfectly - better than my C6, in fact. I can only attribute that to shorter seats and the smaller diameter steering wheel. I'm looking forward to getting a C7!
