From day "1", I've NEVER EVER liked or felt safe in a stock Cobra seat. They have bare minimal lateral support, not good for the road course, and ZERO head support, very dangerous on rear impacts accidents. I guess it's just human nature, but I feel that most Cobra owners care more about their cars looking period correct, rather than how safe they are.

My 2 cents: if you are tracking your car, you should have more than a single hoop roll bar, fuel cell, high back seats, and a HANS device.
