I'm 6' 6" 220#'s and fit OK in my original 427. I did bolt the seat directly to the floor. It didn't add any leg room but allowed me to use the top without it fluttering on my head. My car does not have a rollbar and that allows the seat to go back a little further than on an SC cobra with a rollbar. I had my seats redone and they added padding so I actually have less room than I had with the stock seats. I wish I would have told them to remove some padding rather than adding it. My right knee has broke off the light switch while slaloming the car and my left knee will turn off the ignition if I put the key on a key ring with anything hanging down. So I use a bare key. The car is actually quite comfortable for me to drive as far as the seating. The noise, wind and especially the heat is another story. When I was in my 20's no problem but now that me and my wife are in our 60's the wind and heat are tough to handle. The last long trip we took in the summer my wife almost had a heat stroke after 350 miles driving in mid 90 degree weather. She informed me that it was the last long trip in the car. In 1970 we did 1,400 miles on our honey moon and she thought that was fun. Oh well we all get older. By the way there was a fellow over 7' that had a really nice cobra replica, so the cars can be made to fit.
