Default Another New Guy .... with questions.

Hello everyone.

New guy here seriously looking into this whole cobra scene with a view to sourcing a kit and building one of my own.

I have spent a fair bit of time reading as many posts on here as I can, trying to glean as much info as I can, just building up the knowledge bank. And I must say, to all who post here, you are certainly very passionate, and also helpful when it comes to these cars.

So anyway, I wont start with the typical which is the best kit line, or rather perhaps I will, but with a difference.

See what I really want to know, whose kit is suitable for someone on the larger side. I am 6'2", 115 kg, with long legs. And I am a concerned that I will have trouble fitting in these cars. I know they are different, but I did try a westfield on once, and was a no go.

So I am wondering if there are any people who are in the XXL bracket who could comment on this.

Reviewing the current websites out there, generally not much info is given in this regard. I did see that the Harrison cars have comments about dropped floors and stretched chassis, but I would like to know if anyone has done this and id they could share a picture or something.

Also the new guys BDM suggest they have a lot of internal room, but specific information from those guys is a bit thin out there, but to be fair I know they are still new at it. I do think the alum chassis looks cool tho.

As I am in WA I am planning to check out G-Force as well, if they are still going. Their website looks quite old so am not sure as yet. Tho a phone call will answer that.

OK, so thanks for reading.

Tim
