Interior space and legroom in the mid engine Super Coupe was always a concern of mine. That was why I wanted to come up to Charleston for a "test fit" in your car. But when Carey told me that the customer they were building the rear engine car for was 6'3" and they had to move the seat forward, I switched immediately.

Don't get me wrong the mid engine Super Coupe is a great car. I love mid engine cars. But for me the rear engine Super Coupe is much better. After all, whatever car you buy you have to fit in it and be comfortable, otherwise what's the point?

I think you should also consider body styles as you can be 6'4" and have a short body and fit in the car, in any seat really,  but with you need a longer leg area but, if you tall in the torso you may not be able to get in the car unless you go head first... ask me how I have to get into a speedster with the top up, and hence I own a roadster, he seat is as low as it can go and I have Recaro seats rather than roadster or speedster seats.  Just confirming that fitting my body in my IM roadster build was imperative.  My first IM had a roadster seat that were low in my back.
