I'm a little north of you in Corona del Mar but you won't find another roadster around with more room than mine. Send me a PM with your number and let's get in touch. How tall/big are you?

alright david i definitely will if i cant find anyone close by. im 6'9 255 football linemen big =/, plus if i find myself fitting i plan on dropping in a 5.0 coyote which ive read narrows down foot room. ive been a mustang guy all my life so this would be a tremendous step forward in performance for me

I have put 6'6" guys in these cars but not someone your height. It is doable but it will take some custom work for you to be confortable. Please feel free to give me a call if you want to talk about it, 520-494-2745

yea that was my biggest fear was that the chances of my fitting were slim let alone fitting remotely comfortably. Im a home made auto mechanic myself and am capable to working on cars/customization/welding so need be it done i should be able to make it happen. Gordon currently i'm in europe right now visiting my family but ill be back home Aug 10th, so i will give you a call when i come back home. i am really looking forward to be able to join this community of home-made hot rodders.

These cars are not what most of us are used to for daily transportation thats one reason we want one. However some people don't have a clue how much different they are in many ways from performance to creature comforts. It is a very good idea to drive or ride in as many as you can. You may figure out what you want or don't want before spending the time and money.

@gordon- thank you

@3kcarbon- wat exactly to you mean, i figured that the car would be small, not rooms by any means, side exhaust screaming in your ear, no chance in hell for having A/c, and more RWHP/RWTQ then any human being should be given w/o being on a racetrack/drag strip. for example my stang i redid the entire suspension and took it up to the mountains taking 15mph turns at 40-50 staying in my lane. i simply live for this sh*t.
