Plenty of tall guys - up to about 6'6" - drive Panteras.
One thing I noticed while looking for my first Pantera was that some cars fit me fine and others couldn't even get into. Mostly the earlier cars were more comfortable for me.
I also took some fiberglass racing seats and cut out the bottom so the only thing between my butt and the floor pans was a little seat padding. That enabled me to avoid dropping the floor pans and worked fine so long as I wasn't wearing a helmet.
My current car is race prepared and has dropped floor pans and a highly modified, floor-mounted pedal system. Having removed the center console helps a lot too (but I wouldn't recommend doing that to a street Pantera).
