Question comfort level for 6'4" driver

Although I'm currrently kinda hoping to land a Shelby Mustang, I started my Shelby love affair with the classic Cobras. Never anticipating the financial resources for the real thing (or the nerve to risk wrecking it!), replica Cobras seem like the logical choice.

How comfortable are various replicas in terms of legroom? Particularly the Superformance versions?

Also, since I'm reasonably close to Olthoff Racing as a potential dealer, any feedback on their service would be appreciated.......I'm led to believe they have been "in the game" for some time and should know their stuff.

Most importantly though, let me know what a 6'4" guy has to expect in driving one of these beasts! Does the fun factor overshadow the discomfort? The seats alone offer no lumber support, but cramped knees and hot feet would only further spoil the experience.

PS: any local leads on used Shelby Mustangs (any year) or Cobra replicas in the NC area within a $40-50K budget would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

PS: Glad to have found this resource............hopefully i'll have something to contribute of my own in the near future.
