Yeah you're probably right. I'm 5'10" but I only have a 30" inseam (long torso, short legs) so my legs fit fine but my head is almost brushing on the inside of the top. Your legs are most likely too long.

The S2000 is really nice but the console eats up a lot of space inside the interior, so to me at least it feels less roomy overall than the Miata. Although if the issue is more the length of the cockpit then it's probably got the advantage.

The RX-8 is a fun car and to me it drives more like a sports car than the 350Z even if the 350Z is the one with the "true sports car" body style. Shit, technically any car with a real roof is a grand tourer anyway, so the only sports cars in the bunch are the S2000 and Miata.

I'd say a Supra is an unlikely proposition, and a Skyline is even less so.
