Fit
Big guys don't look right?  Man are you going to get some ball busting
There are a number of cars with additional room. Classic Roadster being one. In fact, DV has one done in his shop right now for sale. Evans is 7 feet tall and fits into a standard wheelbase car. The guy I bought my car from was well over six foot and fits with no problem. My 6'5" father in law couldn't beleive the leg room.
As others have mentioned, there is a lot you can do improve comfort and fit. It just takes a bit more effort. How many people jump into a new car and don't adjust anything!?
When you are test fitting the cars, don't jump into one with a 5'9 owner who says it fits like a glove! I would be like OJ trying on the gloves. The car is adjusted for them. Find some other big guys that likes the fit of their car and ask for a seat. I am about five inches shorter than the guy I bought my car from and I moved the peddles, tilted the seat, raised it slightly and added padding that he had removed and I am getting close!
