Numbers indicate that shoulder room, leg room, and hip room are all reduced in the C8 -- by almost three inches combined.

I fit like a glove in my 718. I do not fit at all in a C7. (I'm 6-4, 245ish)

C8 ownership by taller drivers is not looking promising. It's all going to depend on the type of removable roof Chevy uses, and whether or not there's a semi-hidden lowered seat option like there is now for the C7.

What, does Chevy think its typical 'vette buyers are getting smaller?
Guess they are concerned more about fitting the American ‘norm’ and keeping a lower center of gravity and other dimensions tighter.
If you were even thinking about buying one, look on the bright side, you can do a “Gurney Bubble”.
