Took my first ride/drive in a cobra today....HOLY S**T
car was a pulley/bassani exhaust car. everything else stock. I'm a pretty big guy 6'2" 220, after about a 10 min ride the bottom side bolsters or wings on the seats were kinda digging in. NOT bad but i knew they were there. Is there any adjustment on those? Also the stock shifter SUCKS, now i know the MGW is the one to get, but is it a noticably shorter throw and in a better position. Hell i had to lean forward to hit 3rd and 5th. Overall quite the machine.:rockon:

I did not like the way the seat pushed into my left thigh.

There are instructions somewhere on the forum detailing how to take the seat cover off and bend down the metal support.

I took the easy way out and stood on the edge of the seat (with the top down) and bounced. The seat bent down and has been comfortable ever since.

Mike,

The MGW has a shorter throw and although sometimes difficult to find has several handle color choices with varying dimensions. You can also adjust each handle up, down, and side to side.

If you have not located a car yet here is the best deal on the Auto Trader at the moment. 1400 mile, all original, bone stock, 10th conv for 24,999.00.
