I think the question for me is, "How old is too young for a corvette?"

I'm 6'4" with a longer torso and shorter legs. I fit in my HTC C8 no problem (2LT trim seats). Just drove it back to Utah from Texas and I never felt cramped. Plenty of leg room also for me. With the seat all the way back as I always like to do, and at my preferred seat angle, I am able to keep my legs almost all the way extended while driving. Not sure yet whether I could wear a track helmet and still have clearance and free movement, but I can freely move all around (sans helmet) without my short/buzzed hair ever rubbing on the roof. I'm not sure how true it is, but in comments for a KZitem video on different channel, a few people commented that the HTC has 3 inches more head clearance than the coupe.

Interesting, I did not know that the coop had a little bit less headroom. 3 inches is a lot. Thank you for the comment.

Watch coupe videos. Tall guys hit the b pillar and actually move the seat forward. Thanks for this video. I have hope for fitting. Time for a trip to the dealer.

You are very welcome. I once drove two hours out of my way to check out a McLaren convertible and I did not fit at all, and it went up just being a huge waste of time. I’m glad this can help you.

Thanks for this video. I'm just shy of 6'4 and I've been wondering if the C8 would work for me.

I'm 6'5" (maybe a little over) I have a z06 htc, I fit like you. Now I had a 2020 coupe for 3 years, there is not much room there. I hit my head on the roof several times on the coupe and my knees hit the dash.

I'm 6'5" and my weight moves between 220-240. Inseam 35". I had three C-7s. All manual trans. I had plenty of leg room and adequate head room. When I sat in the C-8 my head would hit the roof pillar if I leaned back. I think the big issue is tall guys with thick legs and thick butt. That raises you up in the seat and impacts your head room. Tall skinny guys don't sit as high due to their skinny butt.

I'm considering selling my C2 Corvette and get the C8 for more creature comforts. I'm 6'4" 230 lb.'s and sat in one C8 coupe and it felt very tight. I noticed yours looked like a convertible and I wondered if you compared the roof. I felt like there was a bar behind my head in the coupe which I didn't notice in your video. What is your opinion? Thanks

I think you should definitely go with the convertible because you got another 3 inches of headroom which I think would be important to you. I have sat in a few C8 coupes, and I did fit in them, but they were a little tight.

You showed an interesting technique, to get on the Corvette. Especially for very tall people. I see that your legs almost touch the steering wheel: something normal for those with long legs. You could recover a few centimeters of space between your legs and the steering wheel by going barefoot (only if you are comfortable and feel safe driving barefoot).

I had three C-7s with manual trans. I nearly always took off my shoes when I drove. Not a lot of room for size 14s to move around on the pedals. Obviously won't be as much of a issue with the auto trans on the C-8.

You definitely get a little bit more headroom in the convertible. At 6 foot three I think you should be fine. Just put the seat all the way down and back. Have you sat in one yet?

@rapidblueisthenewblack4463 yes, very briefly. Head room was the last thing I was thinking about. I've heard some people say the cross bar in the non-HTC was bad for tall people if you scoot the seat back all of the way but I can't remember it being a problem. Again though, I only sat in it briefly.
