I would suggest you try to take a Cobra for a test drive as soon as you can. These are not the easiest cars to get in and out of, and they aren't very spacious. I'm 5'10" and fairly fit so I have no problem, but if you are a bigger guy it could be tight. Some Cobra replicas have stretched wheelbases to give big guys more room, but the standard is 90 inches (like a Miata).

If nothing else a test drive will be lots of fun, and you'll see just how much you really like the Cobra experience.
