MY500SS Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Congrats on finally taking delivery of your new FIA! I hope the CSX is everything you want and more! Enjoy every minute behind the wheel! I hope the wheel issue gets resolved soon! Thanks. I've only got 3 miles behind the wheel, but they've been a blast.

Bud BUDMAN A large amount of credit goes to Bud for all that is good with 7076, thanks Bud. I have an extra set of Cobra car keys with your name on them. Who ever said "I think you should put a quick release steering wheel on that Cobra " must be a GENIUS . Without it I couldn't possibly get my large body in the drivers seat. Thanks again Bud, you are a true friend to the Shelby community and one of my best pals. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Regarding the steering wheel. I bought my CSX because I could sit in it. I tried on (note 1) a Superformance and Backdraft and both of them the wheel hit me on the lap while driving and pressing the clutch. The CSX had plenty of clearance. That was true of all of them (at least two SPFs). I don't know if the CSX has lower seats or if the steering column is lower in the other cars. Note1: You do not get in a Cobra, you put it on. I inquired about putting a quick release wheel on mine after-the-fact, but the whole steering column has to be replaced. The aftermarkets add 1.5" to the wheel, but the factory ones leave the position of the wheel correct. So I continue to enter mine by sitting on the back of the seat and sliding down into the seat. It works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4350 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 That's how I get my economy sized body into mine....getting out is a completely different story though. So I continue to enter mine by sitting on the back of the seat and sliding down into the seat. It works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hopefully I'll have a final answer from SA tomorrow with regards to the wheel well off center issue. I really need to get this Shelby finished (correct) so I can move on to the next car project (Marji only allows me one at a time)............did I hear someone say GT350R.

I do think it's a great sign that SA's top people are working on a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
