sat in my first cobra

[jrussell]

Brad,
I am 5"11" and about 218 currently, and have had no problems with my SPF in a bit over 12,000 miles. We have quite a few SPF owners in the 6'3" range in the Texas Cobra Club, with one that is 6'8" at somewhere around 240-250 (my guess on weight). The drivers seat is adjustable, and the dealer for your area can easily make the necessary adjustments. The foot boxes in the SPf cars is wider than most on both sides and just adding length to the wheelbase in itself certainly does not guarantee you more foot/leg room. I have had more than a few big men that had long wheelbase cars try mine and remark as to the extra room in mine.
My advice is, do your homework, meet with a local group in youe area that get together on a regular basis, and actually look at the different cars that are there. Check all the compartments- engine,interior on both sides, and trunk. Look at the wheels & tires, top and tonneau cover if they have one. Decide if you want to build one or drive one, and try to get realistic time and costs to complete from the guys that built their cars. Trust me, they are all better than none, and some are better than others, but they all fill a need perfectly for someone.
Your task will be to find which one fits you, as I did.
Good luck, and good hunting.
