Hey, this is my first post on here. Recently, I've been looking for a used car to buy and I've had my eyes set on a 1998 Camaro Z28. I am 15 and a half years old with my temps. I can only comfortably drive one of my parent's cars and it seems to be on its last legs. Another problem: I am 6'6" and 315 believe it or not. I would love to get a '98 Camaro Z28 but I was wondering if it would fit me (legroom, headroom). Thanks!

i remember a guy about your hight asking how to lower the seat more, ended up changing to a aftermarket seat. his head was hitting the roof. maybe look for one in a dealer and ask if you can set in it.

6'6"/315 at age 15? Holy smokes, do you live near the high power lines, or a nuclear power plant perhaps? lol
I'm 6'3"/220, and when I had 4th gens, with the seat all the way back, my right knee was against the side of the dash. Not much wiggle room. You're likely to not only want a lower seat, but extend the tracks to slide further back too. Or, remove the drivers seat, sit in the back seat, and extend the steering column.
