Re: best cobra for tall people

6'3" and I can drive my Crendon with the seat slid forward.

I guess it depends on proportions - how much of your height is legs/back etc.

Anyhow - try them all before you decide.

But don't bother trying a GT40.

Re: best cobra for tall people

measey,
If you can find one the original Unique Autocraft Python has about 2" longer in the cockpit than other replicas. I am 6'2" and drive with ease

As Wilf says however it depends on which bit of you is long, so to speak...

Re: best cobra for tall people

AK have fitted tall people into there cars they have lowered floors so you look through the screen not over it, options of up to 21/2" extended footwells, they would fit you in fine.
Are you looking on buying new,second hand, or building your own.

2nd hand cars with long footwells would be rare.

Re: best cobra for tall people

I'm 6ft 5in and have the 2in extended footwell in my DAX. I wouldn't say it's too long. If anything another inch would be perfect for me.
