I'm 5' 10" 170 lbs
I build my car so I could drive it on long trips. The longest are to the London Cobra show, 535 miles one way. Getting stopped on the interstate on a 90 - 95 degree day is tough.
I had extra padding installed in my seat for comfort.
I love my Cobra.

Hodge bought a Cobra in Chicago and drove it to Birmingham, Al. He took a couple of days to make the trip. He has a bad back and the seat was a big problem. The first thing he did was have the seat changed. It took three times to get the padding and angel to suit him.

Another friend bought a rough Cobra and the first month drove it to southern Florida from Nashville Tenn. Yes it rained. He drove that car everywhere and loved it.

My longest drive in the rain was a return trip from the LCS 310 miles of the 535 mile trip. Not bad, I have hole drilled in the floor, all holes into the interior are sealed. Water runs off the windshield onto the door and then my knee. I keep four beach towels behind the seat to use in the rain. The rain blows over the windshield and onto the back of your head. If you wear a hooded jacket you will stay drier. Oh yea, the back of the windshield gets as wet as the front so don't forget to RainX it. My car has a heater and defroster.

Cobras are different and not for everyone, but you may not know till you own and drive one it it's a car for you.
