Not Ranked
Most original cars had far less padding in their seat. People were smaller as well. All the Cobra race drivers were under 6' with the exception of Dan Gurney who was 6'2". You will recall he needed a special roof line in the GT (40) to get in the car with a helmet on.
I'm 6' but have a rather long torso. I use what I like to call the "cobra scrunch" driving position. It is essentially a position in which if I were to roll the car I would be able to sink below the level of the fiberglass and potentially survive a roll over crash. I would suspect anyone who thought about rolling a car like this at speed would do the same.
