FWIW, I just purchased a used Contemporary that has the 90" wheelbase. I am 6' 5" and around 280 lbs....you could call me a big guy! Standing barefoot I am around 44" to my waist, so a little more leg than torso. The only mod I had to make was to remove the drivers seat and I fit in the car very comfortably! I am currently sitting on a foam pad to drive the car, but am in the process of building a custom seat out of a fiberglass comp seat. I will need to have a wedge of foam that starts small under my rear and gets thicker to support my thighs, but it will work perfect and be very comfortable for long drives. Removing the drivers seat drops you down and sets you back quite a bit....just something to keep in mind if you want to stay with a 90" wheelbase.
