I swapped out the normal Superformance seats for Kirkey Drag seats. They suit my needs better. The net result is 2-3 inches of leg room gained and you sit 2-3 inches lower in the cockpit especially if you bolt directly to the car. You can sense the car's movements better in my case. If you like a bolt upright driving position (as we do) then you gain even more legroom.

If you want the original look, this is of no value to you.

I would spec a bigger foot box and keep the seat change as a back pocket option.

Ciao,

Vince

Default Are we that Soft. ?

I'll probably get some heat for this, but aren't "we" getting too soft ? I'm
6'-6", when I owned CSX 3183,I weighed at least 230 at times, bought it when I weighed 210, sold it at 210.

Anyhow, I never had a problem fitting in the car, had plenty of room for my legs and size 14 feet ! All original, no modifications, I was able to find a sweet spot for my left foot, for long trips, up towards the upper corner of the foot box.

Made many trips, from Ft. Laud to Orlando, and once to Sebring. Yes I was tired, hot, dirty and sore, but it was WORTH IT ! EVERY minute was a joy.

So for me to hear guys complain that there's no room,I find it hard to believe. Now if I was racing it, more room would be nice, but hey SUCK IT UP.

You ain't driving a soft cushy Vette.
