I drove another FIA I was considering buying, that had racing seats, and I was comfortably well below the dash - never got close to it (however it was a racing dash). Lower seat and higher dash.

Thanks Rick, I'll keep that in mind. From what I've seen on this forum so far, the passenger's seat as a standard 427 seat and a Kirkey or similar for the driver's seat isn't uncommon, yes?
I'm 6'2", but I really like the dropped centre dash and the instumentation options that configuration allows.
Mk 4 dashes seem to be dropped a little less but the dropped section is wider than that seen on CSX 2558. Maybe a bit of 'adjustment' to design is OK. I haven't sat in one yet.
Any other taller people with dropped-centre dashboards with comments?
