Krakshot. Welcome to the world of cobras. I've wanted one since Mechanics Illustrated had the photos in - I believe - 1964 - and those were on my wall as a high school senior!! Wanted an ERA since I discovered them about 12 years ago. But I started with a used Unique FIA about 5 years ago. Kept it for 2 years and sold it to order a turnkey ERA FIA. Visited the factory in Ct. 4 times during the build (frequent flyer miles come in handy).

ERA has custom fitted some cars for guys bigger than you. Things like pedal position all the way forward, using a racing seat vs the more heavily padded street seat, and seat position "all the way back". Since they build them from scratch - they can modify the drivers foot well if necessary to have pedals moved even further forward.

I have the "street dropped dash" in mine - and that takes away a little bit of clearance. A racing dash is slightly shorter in height. I would strongly recommend visiting the factory in Ct. Definitely (in my opinion) the best quality overall fibreglass cobra replica on the market.
