Mods can make it more comfortable...
Les,
I would definitely say that an ERA or SPF are really "not legroom cars" for anyone at 6'4" plus. Heck, I'm 5'10", and its not a legroom car. On both of these cars, a few of my 6'4" friends went through seat track removals, seat tilting, pedals adjusted back, and a steering colunm raise, with some removal of some seat foam thickness to make it work. And, something else to note here... a few of these guys are previous owners of 94" wheelbase cars - changing back to 90/91" wheelbase cars for their own personal tastes and driving feedback desired...
If I were 6'4", I'd probably do what I could with the various MFGs out there or make all the mods I could to fit more comfortably including a dropped floor pan or a modified rear header section behind the seat. There are some big drivers in these cars over 6'5" and 300lbs. Some companies (don't advertise this openly) but they make "Big-Boy" versions if you inquire nicely in person... It just depends on how much you want a certain car or make.
BDR is running a 92" setup for a little more room. My ERA is actually 91", not 90". It can be done with these type mods mentioned above for the 90/91" cars. Good Luck.
