Here's the trick when assessing a Cobra if you are a large, or in any other way unusually built, man. Take the driver's seat out of the car (it's just four bolts from underneath) and sit in the car with no seat whatsoever. That's as far as you will ever possibly be able to go. If that works for you, then you can have a nice comfortable seat made for you, that looks absolutely stock, but that holds your butt 1/8" above the floor board when it has 200 lbs. on it. You can tilt the back just enough so your arms fit nicely, but the seat still looks normal. You can angle the steering wheel so that it tilts up a bit, but your fingers still clear the cowl top when turning and it all looks right. When it comes to the pedals, they can be spaced out farther, and set back farther for fat feet and longer legs; albeit with some extra hydraulic pressure. It all can be done. When I flew up to New Britain for a "butt in seat" test Peter didn't think they could fit me, but Doug measured me from floor to knee, knee to butt cheek flattened, flattened butt cheek to shoulder, and arm length and pronounced
"I can do it." Then, when he was putting the car together, he had to make a temporary "child's seat" for him and the other guys to sit in and test out the car because most of 'em couldn't reach the pedals with it configured for me. Nothing is adjustable, it's all configured for me. The car absolutely fits me like a glove and I'm 6' 4" 200 lbs. and have 12 EEE feet. It's all doable unless you're about 6' 6" and 275, I would say. I also sat in a car that was set up for a vertically challenged individual and the whole shop broke out laughing.
