Tinny,

Another Cobra to consider is a JFC (John's Custom Fab) in Coos Bay, Oregon. I took delivery of his first extended footbox turnkey version in October. It also has a dropped footbox. I stand 6'4" and am 225 and fit well in this new style. A nice thing is that from the side you can not see the dropped footbox, unlike some that I have seen. The steering column is rasied for easy in/out, yet most people will not notice. (see my gallery)

The question is.... how fast do you want a car? Most manufactures starting with a new car will be awhile for a delivery, especially on a turnkey. Kit form.... well this speed things up. If you buy a used one and want to hack it up to make you fit... sometimes this is not so good for looks and will take some time too. Like I mentioned the ability to view the dropped footbox from a side view. Also you may find a car you can fit in but is it a quality car? I can say that JCF car is extreemly strong both frame and body but the quality is everything I expected plus the body is original size and shape.

Good Luck,
Mike
