I'm 6'1, 200 and would want to be any bigger in these cars. But, you'll never know for sure until you get into one and drive it.

I'm 6'2" 250 pounds and I fit. Plus I wear a size 14 shoe.
Coupe was a little snug for me, but the Roadster is a nice fit.
See if you can find one near you and try it out.

Im also a weightlifter (5'8 235lbs) and I get tons of comments such as:

"Can your arms fit in that car"

"I bet your smushed in there"

Adjust your seat and such im sure you will find something comfortable.

Wouldn't a "Muscle" car be a better fit?

6' and 265 in a coupe.

It's a little tight getting in and out, but if you're flexible you won't have a problem.

I'm 6'1" and 260 and fit just fine. Once you get in it, it's very roomy unless you have an extra large head. I don't have bout about 1 inch of head room left, BUT all my height is in my upper body. 6'1" with a 28" inseam. Yeah, I'm freak. Anyway, if you are more evenly proportioned than myself, you should still fit.

Or a minivan and take out the driver seat to cruise from the 1st bench.

7 way adjustable seats help too. My base seats fix the tilt angle of the seat bottom. That greatly limits the possible body angles that could keep your noggin out of the headliner.

EDIT: Also provides no support for the underside of your legs of you sit like I do. It feels like i'm holding my leg overtop of the accelerator instead of tilting my foot into it. Really annoying.

I'm 6ft and 240 and I fit in my roadster with no problem. The seat adjustment is not all the way back so I believe you might fit. It is wide enought,I'm a martial arts instructor and done my share of weight training.

I'm 6'3 and 200lbs and it is horrible over 10-20 miles of driving. But not bad for a shorter trip. Head about .5 in from headliner, Legs not so bad. But I use mine for drag racing only. I would not reccomend it for a person your size for daily driving.

I am 6'2" and 240. Plenty of room for my shoulders,hips and legs. A little tight in the head height dept. It wouldn't stop me from buying it all over again

I'm 6'2", 215lbs. and I didn't think I could find a comfortable position in the Crossfire until a salesman showed me a trick with the power seat. First he lowered it as far as it would go, then he put the seat back in a straight up position. Finally he slid it all the way back until it wouldn't go back any further.
When I got in, I moved the seat forward until my knees were about 1" from the dash board, and then I raised the bottom cushion up in front until it was right where I wanted it to be. Next I tilted the seat back as far as it would go and everything felt great.
There are taller people than me on the forum who have Crossfires, some even with coupes so Redlinedrummer you should be able to find that "sweet spot" if ya play around with the seat adjuster.
For the record, I've spent more than 12 hours straight in my Crossfire and got out feeling like I coud have gone a few more.

The roadster will give you 3-4 inches more head room, the coupe may be a bit tight. Rent one for a few days, to see if its a bareable fit. I'm 5'9" and 150 lbs and i fit just right! A larger frame may be too cramped, and that could be a Co$tly mistake. Let us know what u decide.
