GT40 seats are not movable. They are part of the frame. They can't be dynamically adjusted and static adjustment for one person is done by adding/removing foam and other inserts. That pretty much means it's a one-driver car.

The space is very confining and claustrophobic. I describe the car as one you put on not get in. In addition as RodKnock mentions, ingress/egress is harder because the car is so much lower to the ground than the Cobra plus you've got about 10" of "sill" for the gas tanks to get to the seat. Getting in is easy - stand on the seat and slide in but getting out is a little tough especially if you have back problems.

You SHALL sit in one before you make any decision. Best if you can take a ride (yeah, you'll most likely be a passenger, but that will also give you a feeling for the torture your rider will go through, but since you already own a Cobra you probably have a good feeling for that. One thing the GT40 doesn't have is the heat in the footboxes from the engine. But all of this has been discussed ad nauseum.
