Interesting topic there. I've talked to several people who've had the same issue I had with the C7, we don't fit comfortably in them. I'm not a big guy at 185 and just under 6' and I did not like how I fit in the car. I tried two cars about a month ago as I was ready for a new car. I decided to keep my 08 and mod it!!! Dam I like the look of the C7 though.. I'll wait for the aftermarket to solve the seat issue....

Mike I am 5'6" so I have a solution for all of you guys. Buy the car and let me drive it

Have you sat in one with the sport competition buckets? it's a $2k option but could work for you. If you need help finding a dealer near you with one in stock let me know.

My wife has a 2008 (last generation) Corvette.  I am over 6'-2" and about 235 lbs, fit fine.

The c6 has plenty of room thus why I'm keeping mine!! Not so much room in the c7.

They are nice seats and are even more restrictive than the base model seats. I'm certain a good upholstery guy could make them work.. Shouldn't have to though.. Harley esque for sure...

Really, I thought that they had learned that lesson with the C5 since it was finally big enough for folks to get into.

'Got the '06 Z06, it is really comfortable for me, even long distance travel. 6'4" 275. Haven't had a chance to check out a C7 yet. 'Can't wait to check out the '15.5 Z06 convertible, looks like it has some potential...

Im not really a Corvette guy but I gotta say that car is absolutely beautiful!!

Wife and I were coming home last night on the bike. We rode up beside a guy in a brand new Vette. We gave him the thumbs up, he look at the bike up and down and then proceeded to give it back

I am 6' 1" and 180, I think I fit great in the 2014 C7.  It's sure a lot more comfortable than my 1980 C3.  I have driven the car 600 miles in a day, with no issues on comfort.  Took a bit to figure where to have the seat adjusted.  Mine is a manual.  You can also gain some travel in the seats by un plugging the over travel limit switch behind the seats.  I really enjoy my C7

Agreed, my C6 convertible has plenty of room.. and I'm a little over 6'4" and have really big feet,, but the Vette is a pleasure to drive anywhere
