any bigger guys out their that have a new camaro?
I am 6'4" 290# and just wondering if anyone else is around my height & weight that has one.
back in '06 my 2 choices for cars that I made were the GTO and the Charger. I like the styling of both but the GTO just didnt have the headroom and I basically had to either sit really low in the saddle, or tilt my head to the right.
so now I am back at the crossroads again to pick another car with the choices being the Challenger and the Camaro. I know fitment in the Challenger is a no brainer since its the same size as the Charger. But given that I would basically have to buy a fully loaded SRT Challenger for around $43-$46k for what I could in a Camaro for about $10k less AND have something that is cheap and easy to toy around with.:thumbsup:
(please dont hate because of my screen name, I use it on all the forums I am on just so I dont have to remember a different name for each board.)
welcome...(not to worry, there's a few dodge guys here).
I'm 6-3, 220 and there was room to spare when I sat in it. Leg room is absolutely not an issue. With the seat all the way back, I was too far back to push the clutch in. I only sat in it for a few minutes, so didn't have all that much time to fine tune the seat and adjust the steering wheel, but I was comfortable.
I would say definitely sit in one so you can form your own opinions, but I think you'll be OK.
I'm a shade under 6'4" (I think I've started shrinking), 220 lbs & fairly long-torsoed so headroom is always a potential showstopper. I just barely fit in my GTO with the seat down and tilted back slightly, but I would probably have had issues if I wore goop in my hair. (Solstice was almost comical and C6 'Vettes are tight.)
Headroom, naturally, was the first thing I checked when I saw my first 5th gen yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased that I fit nicely.
They really did a great job with the amount of space inside the car, and the adjustability in the seats.
You'll find a comfortable seating position in this car, I can say that for sure.
No worry I am in your area size and I had no poblems when I drove a 1LT on Wednesday no issues wtih seat position, height, bumping my head, or position of the controls
Welcome to the site, DodgeDude99. I'm one of the short bastages coming in at a staggering 5' 10" but you'll be fine!
I'm a Dodge guy myself ('05 Magnum RT).....but I try not to mention it too often over here.
