Yep, that's what I'm working on, but the snag has been the passenger's left knee hitting the back of the driver's seat.

Ford Global avoided this by stretching out the legs of the passenger.

I believe this deals with pelvic/hip bone geometry and at what angles one's legs sprout out at depending on how high or how low they are seated at.

I have a pair of fixed racing seats out in my shed that I have not had a chance to install into the old 911. I have a chance to play around with this first hand, only problem is I'm a small person and what works for me at 5'-5" isn't going to work well for my 6'-5" friends. Guess I will have to invite my friend Jim Z. over once I set the mock-up stage for the seats.
