I'm 6'4" and the poster boy for ERA Cobras for tall drivers. My car fits me like a glove. BUT, it's important to know where your height is (ground to top of knee when bent, lower knee to base of the tail bone when bent and sitting, butt cheek to the top of the head when sitting, etc.) It all makes a difference but 76 inches is certainly doable unless there's something wrong with you.... But, don't buy an ERA just because you're tall. Cheaper Cobras can also fit you; only buy an ERA if you know what you're buying and that's what you want.
