6' 5" and around 275lbs. I knew going into cobra ownership I would have to make some mods to be able to fit, but it turned out to be a very easy fix. I do have a comp seat I am going to modify with thin foam so it "looks" better, but as it is the car is very roomy and comfortable once I am inside!

Makes you feel like a wuss doesn't it.

No argument, I'm a lover not a fighter! Then again...after 18 or 20 beers and a half dozen shots of Jack I tend to get pretty indestructible.......

I meant that he is driving his car around sitting on just a yoga mat for support. Gives new meaning to the raw experience of driving a cobra. Now autocrossing sitting on a yoga mat might be a whole nother level.

The only issue I have is having only contact on my tail bone does get uncomfortable after a while. I am planning on using layered and staggered foam to get support on a longer section of my seat and that should help a lot. FWIW the blue foam I am using is a cut up aerobics mat....Wallyworld to the rescue again!

He came back from his first drive looking like he was going to sleep at the wheel as the car rides so nicely. His eyes did get a couple of sizes larger when we gave it some vacuum and timing though. I'm still not sure if his truck (huffed Lightning) might be faster than his Cobra, he never suggested I drive one and we race them. I would never have agreed to such reckless tomfoolery anyway ;-)

This is exactly the reason that we own these cars. A little "tomfoolery", amusing choice of words by the way, keeps us young.

Hey "FUNFER2", do you happen to know where I can get one of those smaller Cobras ? The black one . I have grandkids that would love one. Thanks for any help that you can give me.

Hey Nick, that's what test and tune nights at the drag strip are for! Sounds like a good excuse to drag the family to Az. for a vacation!
