Yes. If you are cramped, whatever you do don't buy a car sight unseen. The issue for "tightness" is one of the atttributes of the street-ified race car, but side-to-side in the seat is different from foot pedal reach and closeness of the steering wheel to your lap. My advice to all buyers is to sit in the car you are thinking of buying. There is a lot of variation between brands. And even within brands for non-factory rollers. Expect the Shelby CSX and Superformance cars to be similar (within brands, but even Shelby vs SPF vary, in fact, SPF wheel hit my lap whereas Shelby fit me fine) so a dry fit in one is as good as others, but others, especially true kits, can vary alot. Also, SPF made design changes so an older car might have a different steering wheel position than newer cars. So the best thing is to actually sit in the car before writing the check.
