Anyone in Atlanta with Cobra Nogaros?

Cries in 5’7

No joke, I’d rather be shorter. So many cars are annoying/impossible.

😆😆 Yeaah (6'5" here) ... At last track day I sat in this guy's Lotus Elise (ironically he was also a tall fellow); with the steering wheel spaced out it might actually work, but in stock form it feels like a go-kart w/ steering wheel sawing at my legs. That and I always bump my head on s**t

FWIW, I went for the Nogaro after a ride along in Obioban's car. Harness holes are high enough for me (barely) and otherwise I have no complaints whatsoever, such an enhancement to driving experience. Haven't done the passenger seat yet-- need to get wife to validate comfort

Sportsters look much better than they feel (especially being period correct for an E46). I was ready to pull the trigger on them to upgrade my Z4M seats and just so happened to drive a friends' car after he installed some. An hour drive changed my tune and they were a no-go for me. Lateral move at best and a big effort for negligible increase in support & weight savings. And once I realized the backrest reminds me of those flexy plastic white chairs it was all over. They are somewhat of an improvement from stock seats although a halfway point IMO. At least with Z4M seats you get a true PnP setup for about half the cost.

Nogaros or PP's are now at the top of my list. But absolutely will not commit until I drive a car with them for 30+ minutes as heinzbohmer suggested. Sitting static will not tell the whole story.

I initially wanted Nogaros but reviews consistently describe them as uncomfortable after short to medium length drives - particularly low back/lumbar. This was a deal breaker, I ended up buying Pole Positions which have been great.

Another thing to consider (for both PP and Nogaros) is the shoulder bolstering. Quite tight if you have broad shoulders.
