Andrew,
I'm 6'6" tall and a little over 200#. I looked at and sat in a bunch of Cobras before I bought my SPF. I'll admit, the BDR had more legroom but I really wanted to stay with a 90" WB car. The folks at Dynamic Motorsports altered the driver's seat for me prior to delivery and I had a local upholstery guy add some gel foam. Yeah, it's cozy in there, but I can drive well over an hour at a time before I need to get out and stretch. I took a road trip last May from Illinois to New Mexico and my enjoyment of being able to make the trip in a Cobra FAR outweighed any discomfort. I've driven the car over 10,000 miles in about 8 months.
Since you're near the Olthoffs, my advice would be to give them a call, tell them you're a tall guy and you'd like to come in and go for a test drive. Ask them to be sure, but I expect they have the same seat option as Dynamic. While you're there, ask them to put a top on a car so you can try getting in and out. I can easily get in and out of my car with the top on.
Look at and sit in all the Cobras you can find. Double Venom Spring Fling (do a search) is a great place to see all the different makes of Cobras and talk to the owners.
Sure there are more comfortable cars, but so what? I've WANTED a Cobra since 1966. For me being able to drive a Cobra, this car is PLENTY comfortable!!!
