how long is a trans am in inches?

About to buy a 90' Firebird formula and am clearing out a stall in my garage for it. Would be much easier if I knew the length of the car. TIA.

I believe they are 178 inches long. (Give or take a couple of inches.)

They've got to be longer than that.. My camaro is almost exactly 16 feet long which is like 192 inches.

I measured mine for a trailer recently and I recall it coming out to 15 feet almost on the money. I went from tip to tip when I measured the car. I didn't let the tape touch the car so I didn't go over the roof lines and the windshield or hatch glass. Not sure how you did it. I might just be remembering it wrong though. My garage is 19 feet long as I recall and the car only has about two feet in front of or behind it. (For whatever that's worth.)
