3rd Gen Camaro Body Size

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone wouldn't mind measuring the width of their camaro on the front and back, and also the length from bumper to bumper? I just cleared out a garage on my property and I'm planning on fixing up a 3rd gen camaro in it, but I wanted to see how much room I will have with the car parked inside. At the moment I have my daily driver parked in the garage and its kind of a tight squeeze with the tool bench and all, common sense tells me that a camaro is smaller than an Acura Legend, but just wanted to make sure/find out how much smaller it actually is.

Thanks alot

Edit: Also, I have tried checking the technical info on the main page and used the search engine to see if I could find a thread that already had this info, but found nothing. If there is a thread already please point me in the right direction

3rd gens and 4th gens are almost as big as a Chevy Suburban.

Hmm, I didn't think they would be wider, but definately thought they would be longer.

Oh well, thanks for the measurements.
