I have the same concern due to many shoulder surgeries. When my BDR gets to Vintage Motorsports i will be visiting it and i will bring my vette so Jay can compare the steering effort in it versus the Cobras he drives all the time. If the steering is much more difficult then i will have him put P/S in, if not then all is good. I see alot of Cobras for sale with very little miles on them and i think it is for 2 main reasons. One is the buyer should of never bought it because funds were tight to begin with and something unexpectedly came up that forced the sale of the car because funds were needed somewhere else. The second reason could be because they didnt like driving the car, something wasnt pleasurable with the driving experience. When i sat in the BDR cobra i knew right away changes needed to be made. The seat needs to be much forward and tilted down from its usual position. The steering wheel was also tilted too far forward. So Jay put all these demands/details in the build sheet and added tilt steering to the options. He also said that these issues can be resolved to make the overall driving experience what i want because of my shoulder issues. Having a builder like this is a big plus to ensuring the setup is correct. Having a local builder also allows me to bring my non cobra car to him so he can take measurements, take it for a drive, see how i like the steering wheel and seat positioned all BEFORE he even starts to assemble the new cobra. Small details like this is what i think alot of buyers miss and end up with an expensive car they dont care for. Alot of due diligence is needed before one is to order these badass machines.
