    Cockpit Size?

    Understanding that size never matters:

    IS the Cockpit area of the FFR Hot Rod bigger than that of the FFR Cobra? I have not sat in one yet ( I have had a Cobra and a FFR Coupe). Seems like you sit lower and it is wider, what about leg room? Thanks again.

    If you've had a cobra and a coupe, then you'll be swimming in the hot rod.

    But that being said, there are pros and cons
    Foot box - Hot rod smaller and cramped for three pedals, but an auto frees up some room. I think on lengthwise they are similar, maybe more in the cobra.
    Shoulder width - Hot rod I'd say is better
    Ease of entry / exit - hot rod suicide doors make it very easy to get in and out. Also the stock seats sit pretty level with the door jamb. Now if you go for bucket style racing seats then you have seat lip to climb over. I think that' why a lot of people claim they needed a tilt steering.
    Head room - roadster wins (hot rod or cobra) Although, with the stock seats there's quite a bit of head room in the hot rod with a top.
