In reply to stroker :
Yeah, KBS is a tight chassis, but not all of them are, nor do they need to be.
Here's another bare chassis
And again, you can roll your own chassis and tailor it to fit you. The thing about formula cars is getting in one is like putting on a pair of pants, you need to fit it to you and some need to start with a "relaxed fit" model.

I'm 6'-3" 270. I don't think I can fit in that...
I am pretty sure you can fit. The cockpit is pretty open with the seat and positioning made for the owner/driver.
The one F5 I tried to drive a bunch of years ago was set up for someone only slightly smaller than you. I couldn't really drive the car because I just rattled around in the seat and could barely reach the pedals - and I'm pretty much the definition of "average size" at 5' 10" and 180 lbs.
If I ever find the time/space to go W2W racing, it'll be in an F5/6. An F600 sounds like an F1 car ripping down the track. It's intoxicating. That said, there is a pure simplicity to the F500 2-stroke engine that has its own allure.
there is GOOD racing in the class, here is last year's Runoffs race.
