Not Ranked
I'm 6'7" 220 lbs and fit OK in my original 427 Cobra. I basically step over or around the steering wheel with my right leg and then slide down into the seat. I took the frame rails out years ago and bolted the seat to the floor so I could drive with the top up and not have it flap on my head. When I was young, about 30 years ago, I drove it a couple of times on 12 hour rallies. I find the car fairly comfortable since my driving leg rests on the trans tunnel. The most tiring thing for me is the wind and heat.
I have bent and or broke several of the switches due to my legs hitting them while sloloming the car. I also drive with a bare key, no key ring, since my left knee hits a key ring and will shut the car off. Since the Kirkham and csx4000 are the same I would imagine they would be OK. I also fit in a friends ERA.
Since everyone is built a bit different you really need to try before you buy. For your info, when I first looked at my car I had trouble getting behind the wheel but after I figured it our it was fairly comfortable. By the way my knees hit the dash on both my Expedition and Lincoln Towncar unless I sit up real straight. I have driven a friends Viper coupe but have a lot of trouble getting my leg on the clutch to the point that I would have to do something with the seat to make it safe if I ever got one.
Have fun, Ray
