Your height is not really an issue, your inseam will determine which route you have to take in order to fit in one cobra replica vs another. SPF,BDR,ERA all have work arounds for the tall driver. Adjustable pedal box mounts and adjustable seat tracks are the two biggest (besides a dropped drivers side footbox). I'm just over 6 feet tall and need to adjust my seat forward two clicks (I have a 34 inseam) in the ERA. I know of at least one 6' 8" owner in the bunch, he lives in NYC, if I can remember his name I'll see if I can get you contact information, he has owned(or owns) both a SPF (427SC) and a ERA(289FIA)........
