    This is the most comfortable seat I have used in 20+ years of racing. I can literally fall asleep in it on grid. Full of great features and very safe. The reasonable price makes it a fantastic deal.

    Sorry Pete,

    But.....

    1) I would not buy a cobra seat....

    and

    2) I would not buy from Sube sports......

    for reference see how they treated a customer with a defective seat:

    I looked for a way to avoid the cost of a RaceTech seat and sat in every manufacturers seat at PRI last December. I sampled everything in the building. I just could not get anything to compare with the fit and comfort of the Race Tech( I am 5'10" and 190lbs). Many of the seats were waaayyy too tight, and none of them had the support under my legs like the RaceTech. Sooo.. I bought the RaceTech 4009WHR.

    I ended up getting a sabelt Taurus XL from teamdi (driving impressions ) it has head restraints, made to fit a hans, and cost just over $900 with the mounts. I think at 5'8 I am the smallest person that could fit in it but I think it will do the trick. It felt good to support Bob as well since he has done so much for the racers in the NE. I am also getting a Hans so with the Hans and the seat I will have spent the same as the racetech and I don't think it was a huge compromise in safety.
