I'm 6'5", size 15 shoes, 34"pant inseam, and real close to that magical 300lbs. mark, I'm built like a B-52. I've been told that just like the plane I can rain down some serious woop ass! LOL.LOL. This past weekend I flew to Chicago, to view a magnificant Superformance Cobra, which is advertised here in this forum. To my dismay, I arrived there with check in wallet, and ready to pull the trigger, unfortunately, I was not able to fit in! Let me explain, I'm a big boy, I fit in that car great, with the exception, that my left leg contacts the dashboard, to the point that I can not raise my leg to shift gears. WHAT A HUGE BUMMER!!! I contacted Dynamic MotorSports(Ross,Ohio), this is where the car was delivered and bought from. Spoke to a gentleman by the name of Dean, and told him my problem. He said that they have done several of these types of adjustments for there larger clientel. he referred to it as the "big man option", which is essentially, a $400 remanufacture/alteration of the drivers seat. He claims that it will drop me down about 2-3 inches. This I have no doubt should fix my problem fit. Flew back to California to think about it, and maybe check out this option with a local dealer.
The bad news the car was sold to someone else"GREAT CAR"!
The good news, spoke to Dennis of Hillbank Motors, in Costa Mesa, CA, and he too, insists that there will not be a problem, and if there is, there is a solution. He says he fitted a client with an older Superformance, which did not have the dropped floor pan and larger foot box., who is 6'8", 300+lbs.. I'm going there this Friday, to sit in that very car! How awesome is that, what a great service, great company! I'll keep you guys posted.
