no the mach 1 is a gutted race car. what i said is MY car has NO weight reduction and I said that i would show a full weight ls1 fbody (street car) with cam only my tail lights. what dont you get about that. the mach 1 was a completely different discussion. also for the record im not against weight reduction on a street car but im also against sacrificing comfort for weight reduction.

I have a question for the guys that drove both and are not fan boys. Just straight open answers.
How is the seating position in the Cobra compared to a WS6 or even a camaro in this case. I find it very awkward and uncomfortable to sit in my T/A. Im not short and I still feel like I am laying down in the car and visibility is absolutely ****. In all honesty, and as pathetic as it sounds, I like driving my neon better then my trans am. It takes me 20 seconds to get comfortable in my dads GXP and see perfectly out of.
*Also, does it have the steering feel like that of a Peterbilt 4th gen F bodies do? My steering is far from light.

with my build 5 7" 170 lbs the cobra is more comfortable and for some reason i have odly long arms so the shifter position doesnt bother me. my friends that have f-bodys are all over 6 feet ranging from 200-270lbs. it just feels too low for someone my height. i was looking at ws-6's and cobras at the same time and this was a factor in my final perchase. different stroked for different folks.
Dont get me wrong though some termies look sick specially the redfire ones

I'm the same height as you, granted you've got 20lbs on me, and i've found F-Bods to be WAY more comfortable than ANY mustang I've been in.(Older and Newer Models)
Their dash boards are like 20 feet away from the driver/passenger, and they are also about 100ft tall. No Thank You.

I was always comfortable in my Mustangs (especially the '98), and I'm 6'1" and (at the time) 180lbs. But then again, I'm perfectly comfortable in my S2000. I guess it's just the way I'm proportioned.

Im 5'11 between 155-160 and my camaro fits me perfect, the corvette and GTO are also very comfortable. I have driven my bros 5.0 and his 98 cobra and it feels very akward and the lateral support on the seats sucks.

when the dashboard in a fbody is bigger than the bed of my truck.
My '00 Z28 was much more comfortable for me. I'm very cramped inside my Cobra. I'm 6'7 250lbs though so that's a little
different. The Cobreau seats helped tremendously. Corvettes are horribly uncomfortable for me.
