I'd suggest you need to sit in a few to see which fits you best, as it depends on not just your height, but how long your back is compared to the length of your legs, and also how low you sit in a particular car.
your physique (snake hips vs burgerman  ) might also help dictate how easy it is to get behind the steering wheel! an inch or 2 here and there can make a big diference

A & C Car
I did exactly what your talking about. I purchased mine over about a year. They will also send it to you in just about what ever stages you want them to. Sonny locked in a price for me for two years and I got it done a little early. Worked second job on weekends to get my toy, it's all mine. I'm 5'-10" and have about 3" behind the seat to comfortably reach the pedals, no problems for me at all.

Im thinking if i could fit in a 97 Miata and drive it from California to Ohio and back comftably,it should be alright,if i could fit i would deffinetly rather have roadster that mirrors the original with the 90 inch wheelbase like the A&C and Shell Valley.

It was good talking to you on Friday.
Let me know if you have any prospects for engine builders. I can provide a total package for you, engine, trans, bellhousing, etc, etc and can make you a better deal that way.

It was very nice talking to you as well Brent,you are deffinetly gonna be my tranny guy,we will talk about engine builders,but i have a guy out of California where i'll be moving thats building me 460 stroked to a 533 built motor,390 cfm aluminum heads,10:1 compression run on 91 octane. The motor will make 680ish HP and 720 ish ft lbs of torque,and i get a free dyno for $8499 that is a unbeatable price,but i still will take a listen to your suggestion,but that will be a really really really tough act to follow.

I'll take a shot at it. Keep in mind my engines are ready to drop in and fire...it all depends on what all is included in the $8499. Let me know and we'll do an apples to apples comparison.

T300zx,
The LS team was in San Antonio helping an LS427 customer this past Thurs & Friday but prior to that we were at the phones so I am unsure to what happened. I don't recall your a message. I was even taking calls on Labor Day because I know most customers are off work & in the garage with possible tech questions.
I appologize for the communication difficulties you have experienced. I would be more than happy to answer any of your questions regarding my products.
Toll-Free (877)572-2277 or 817-439-5721.
Sincerely,
Brian
LSC

I checked out that source and looked at the list of parts. What scares me is that no brand names were listed and there are many off-shore crankshaft/rod/piston/cam manufacturers right now (Hawk Racing, RPM, Pacific Pro, etc) and with this kind of pricing, I'm sure that's what they're using. The only brand name I saw was ARP and even it was spelled wrong.  There was also not a mention of MSD/Mallory ignition products....I suppose I could assume he's using Procomp for ignition?
There were a lot of things missing for a turn-key setup: coil, plug wires, wires, pulleys, PCV valve, water neck, thermostat, air cleaner....basically all the things that add up when you're going for a turn-key.
I use quality parts in my builds...Scat, Callies, Probe, Wiseco, Comp Cams, ARP, MSD, Canton, Moroso, etc/etc.
You get what you pay for...

The heads really don't bother me. With 533-550ci, you'll get your 650hp if you put Edelbrock heads on it. However, for that much horsepower, you need a nice bottom end and quality parts to back it up.
