If you were able to look straight down through a transparent Cobra, you would see that your feet are next to the engine. A big block is about 25 inches wide. Your butt is next to the driveshaft, which is 4 inches wide. So your legs (and in may Cobra's, the seat) are angled to the left. This is very similar to a drummer sitting at a drum set with his left foot on the highhat pedal (to the left) and his right foot on the bass drum pedal (straight ahead). Your torso has to twist a little to the right to hit the snares and toms. This position is not too bad and can be adjusted to easily. However, it can lead to back problems for some Cobra drivers and some drummers.
I have driven many long rallies in this position. The longest one was a 15 hour event from Ontario, CA to Laughlin. I was tired but fine. As I have gotten older, I find I have to exercise much more to stay flexible and have the energy to drive the car for the long events. Next Friday, we will be running from Santa Barbara to Las Vegas in a 14 hour event. I will take turns driving with my co-driver so we don't get too tired. The slight angle to the left is the least of my worries. The cold temperatures are my biggest worry!
