Sorry, I do not think there is a definitive answer. If you are concerned about fit, the only way you will know if you will be comfortable in any particular car is to sit in it and find out.
Chuck's answer is spot on... No two Locosts are the same size/shape. I have to add that no two humans are identical either. I'm a smidgen shorter than you, weigh about ten pounds less right now but at one point in my life I was jussst over 300
and daily driving an MGB. I've driven a few Miatas, an old Lotus Elan, a Lotus Europa and an XKE, all known for small seats and drivers compartments. I fit better in some than others, granted... I had a hard time getting in/out of my XKE, but once I was in there, I was in an XKE by Gawd! It was worth the contortions...
So I'm guessing that besides differences in personal build, there's a difference in "tolerance" as well. (Maybe?) Perhaps modifying an old (wrecked?) Corvette with a DIY roadster body would be a better "fit" for you? You'd get some "car builder" experience and a more roomy seating position. Or maybe a dune buggy type build on a VW Beetle pan. Are either of those an option for you?
All the above is very much IMHO, YMMV, my .02, etc. (In other words, deranged ramblings after a lifetime of exhaust fumes.)
Good luck with your search-
