Default Trying to find the right Cobra make to fit me

I am a tall guy at 6'6", and I am ready to build my Cobra, but need to find the right kit that fits the best.

I had a chance to visit the Lone Star Facility in Texas 2 weeks ago and although this kit stretched 4", it was a miserable fit from the standpoint of all of the pedals. With my foot on the clutch pedal, my knee was sticking outside the door. I did fit very comfortably with respect to upper body, and steering wheel and shifter reach (better than most cars). I was also under the roll bar by a couple inches. If I slipped my feet behind the pedals, I could stretch my legs out fully. This is encouraging, as there is some room to play with for pedal mounting, and Lone Star has a new pedal set that can be mounted in different locations. I will go back there once they can show me this, as it wasn’t quite ready yet. I am in Dallas on business once in a while….

I still like the idea of a 90” WB kit, but I am leaving all options open within reason, including a fully manual automatic trans, or maybe floor mounted pedals, or whatever else would work.

I want to try out as many kits as I can. Wondering what Norcal or reasonably local events might be coming up, or if there are any owners in the area that might want to show off their Cobra and let me sit in it for a couple minutes. I live in Folsom, but I am down around Fresno and Modesto quite often.

Where there is a will there is a way

Thanks,
Mark
