Not Ranked
I have a Lone Star Cobra and they added 4" to the wheelbase and put that 4" into the driver compartment. My doors are 4" longer than most. Eight years ago when I did a lot of research on Cobras, there were a couple of companies that had 94" plus wheelbase. They did not use the extra inches in the drivers compartment. I think one had most under the hood and 1 1/2" behind the seats. We have a couple of big guys with FFRs and other 90" wheelbase cars and they get in and out with little or no problem. There is an easy way in and out of a Cobra.  You just have to practice.
With the drop floor pan it makes it a lot easier to drive. Adjustable seat tract, tilt steering wheel and removable steering wheel are some of the things a big guy can do to make driving a Cobra a better experience. Some times you can get in but have a hard time working the pedals.
I'm only 5' 10" and 170 lbs but I have a few big guy Cobra buddies.
