hi woody and welcome to the MEV tall club, i 6 foot 4" too and when i started looking for a kit one of the biggest issues was size of the cabin space i cant say for the rocket as i've not had a sit in one yet but i've sat in the sonic and the exocet at shows and on the sonic i had to move the seat forward, there is more leg room than in just about any other kit car ive tried

Hi Woody, the Rocket was featured in a magazine called "Big Dog" (the magazine of the British Tall Club) after one of it's 6'8" inch members tried the Rocket for size at last years Earls Court MPH Show. 6'4" is a breeze in a Rocket, you'll probably have to pull the seat forward...!

Size really doesn't matter, I am really short, so I mounted my seat closer to the wheel, but it can be mounted a long way back too. The only real issue is if we tried to share a car, but the runners probably have enough adjustment to take up even that.
