If they fit a Cobra...they are probably too upright for the Porsche.
Seats for that car are little more than a flat seat area with a cupped seat back.
I have always considered them to be 20 minute cars...after 20 minutes you really want to get out....LOL

Not Cobra the car by Carroll Shelby car seats. Cobra is a seat brand. They make all kinds of seats. I have a Cobra seat in my race car. Here is the link to the seats the OP was asking about:

Historic Seats - Cobra Seats

Got a pair of them in the '69. I'm pretty happy with the purchase... they look the part and I have had no quality issues whatsoever. Excellent bang for buck.

Very nice seats.
Virtually identical to Nurburgrings, but slightly lighter.
Definitely not a competition seat. Very little lateral suport around the shoulders.
Bought mine here -- very good experience:

Motorsport Seats - Race Seats and Car Seats - Corbeau Cobra Sparco Recaro and Race Harnesses

Sorry about the bad exposures.

Cobra makes very nice seats. Easily on par or better than Recaro, Sparco and the other popular brands. I've had an Imola and a Suzuka for my cars. The Imola was a bit tight but was a very nice seat for the price back in 2006. I recently bought the Suzuka for my racecar. Very nice seat with quality fabric, removable cushions, strong kevlar construction. If their street seats are anything like their race seats, the Classic RS is a high quality seat for sure.

I have a Cobra Sebring Pro in my race car and just love it. It's light, comfortable, stiff, and well made. The fabric is great and they have "Suede-Tec wear patches" on the seat where you might wear through the fabric getting in and out of the seat. I would buy another Cobra race seat in a heartbeat!

No slot on the sides to let the belts through unfortunately, but should still work with the belts over the sides. Fine for a track day, but obviously not for racing.
