Been threatening to drive 2 hours over to Olthoff's for "nigh on" three years now. My only issue with the SPF is that my hindquarters are slightly wider than the seat. At 6'4" and 220lbs I didn't think I was that big based on a recent thread here, but my 40 inch waist is a tight fit. I realize too that other seats will be similarly sized. Lone Star says they have a wider seat available. I need to see if I can find one to try one of these days.
I am confident that Olthoff could make modifications to the driver's seat (or you could purchase/have a different one made). If you are considering a Cobra--and an SPF is within your budget--you should definitely make the trip to Mt. Ulla (where Olthoff is located).

Incidentally, there is a Cobra get together in North Raleigh every month (Hardees on Creedmoor for breakfast).
