This followed me home a couple days ago. 3LZ, carbon flash widgets and wheels. And at 6'4" 235, with wide shoulders, it is a video moment for me to enter and exit. Frankly, unless I can get comfortable in this thing, it will be looking for a new home sooner than later....

I have the same concerns which is why I am holding onto my ZL1-1LE until delivery.
6'4" 230 w/ broad shoulders and no issues at all with these cars. You need to get your knees about 4 fingers width away from the dash to keep your head ahead of the b-pillar and under the targa roof where there's more room.

with this. I'm even bigger at 6'4" and 280 lbs Athletic Build (fit not fat) and I fit in the car with no real issues...my only complaint if that my hair rubs abit on the roof...BUT that is also because I have the HTC and it has less head room (but about 1") when the seat is all the way back. The car is not super comfortable compared to a normal/luxury car, however I drove it on (2) 700+ mile trips so far and when you put it in Tour Mode overall it was quite comfortable for what it is. The only issues I have getting in or out is more to do with the fact of all of my injuries and not the actual car.
For any of us over 6' 2" and 230+ lbs there are not going to be a lot of sports cars we are going to fit in comfortably, though this is one of the best on the market IMO.

What worries me is God forbid, you ever get into an accident on the drivers side. How are you going to get out? Especially if the door will not open.
GT2 seats. My problem is 75 year old hips and knees that remind me I shouldn't have been a dumb *** at the squat rack over the years. The other issue is the steering wheel seems way too close to my chest even with the seat back and reclined. I guess I will use my six month no sell time to decide what the future will hold unless someone offers me stupid money in the interim. Thanks for the replies.

While I'm only 6'1" and 235lbs (athletic), I thought I had plenty of room inside of a C8. Granted, those extra few inches could really change things but, one of the first things I noticed was how roomy it was in there compared to my C7.
Interesting info. I have read quite a few threads regarding size limitations regarding the C8s. I am 6'2" 220lbs. Wide at shoulders also. I fit fairly well in my C8. My brother on the other hand is 6"4 and 245lbs and can NOT sit in it comfortably.
A conundrum for sure. Hope the OP gets used to it.
Back in the day, I had a 2008 Viper. Same situation. Terrible car to drive for me. Sold it at 1200 miles. I do hope the ZO6 does not follow the same scenario. It is a nice car, sounds great, fit and finish is decent. But if I find that I do not enjoy driving it, it will either be relegated to garage art....or the auction block. Time will tell.
I’m 6’6” and 280lbs, athletic/body builder build, very wide shoulders and back. With GT2 seats it took me awhile to find my position and get in and out gracefully. In the beginning I couldn’t drive more than 30-40 minutes before feeling extremely uncomfortable. I can sit in the car for hours now no problem. You’ll find your spot and get comfortable.
