I think you can do 350 miles a day in a Cobra. Seven hours averaging 50 miles per hour. The seat is very important. I had my seat built by a local upholstery shop. He added lumbar support and extra padding in the front part of the seat. Extra support for you legs. I have a bad knee so I have a cloth soccer ball that I use to support my right knee on the trannie tunnel on long trips. Position your pedals, seat and steering wheel for the long trips. We drive 530 miles every year to the LCS in one night, well 12 to 14 hours. Coach and Lainhart have to stop and eat every two hours.
