Hi thardin,
...at least part of the answer has to do with what you consider to be comfortable or tolerable. Some people want to drive a Cobra so bad they'll do just about any mod needed to make it happen.
I've been helping a friend on this challenge who is 6'4-1/2. His problem is he has and extra-long torso so his head sticks up over the windshield in any stock Cobra.
We've determined that he can fit in a Classic Roadsters pretty easily, an ERA with seat mount/foam reductions and rasing the steering colum, as well as Superformance with seatfoam mods, and even a Unique with some mods to the seats and floorpan by mounting the seat deeper. Others like Jamo have great input on the Kirkham/Shelby cars... Any time you can push the seat back or tilting it more helps. The thing to remember is Cobras are not the most comfortable to begin with. In the end, my friend decided on a JBL for it's performance and functional reasons, and the fact that he can fit in one of these too... He and the other guy we are working with on the JBL are both 6/4 and 6/5.
It seems most of the manufacturers can assist you. Unique Motorcars Ltd. out of Gadsen Alabama have successfully built a few so-called Big-Boy cars for some Pro Wrestlers and Ball players who have been very satisfied from what I've read...
If there is a will, there is a way. Good Luck. Let us know what you come up with...
