Yes I do. See my gallery for pics of my ramp system.
When I added the C5, I tried to make the ramps work for the longer chassis. Had to build longer bridges/extensions and a longer incline ramp. You wouldn't think it, but the Cobra (even with a 4.5" clearance on the front
oil cooler shroud,
oil pan and bellhousing) sits HIGHER than the Corvette! The door sills on the C5 are L-O-W! It ended up extending the ramp out of the garage, so I ditched it (after building it!) and made some other contraptions for getting the C5 off the ground for maintenance.
Anyway, I would research the wheel centers, front to back, on a Porsche and then compare that dimension to your Cobra. In that video, the angle wasn't optimal but it looked like to me that those yellow outriggers came awfully close to the tires when they were swung under the car. I saw that and that's what made me think twice if they would work on a Cobra.
The alternative is that you slide the outriggers into place after you have driven your car up on small sections of 2x10. Like sliding the business end under the car and then sliding the linkage end into the hoists. Just have to be more delicate, that's all.
Then again, maybe my eyes are shot and it will all work just fine. It is a pretty cool set-up for those that either don't have the room for a 4 post, or want the ease of a lift but don't want it in the way all the time.
I really like the original Qwik Lifts...just couldn't afford one. So I made my own.
