Leg room??? I am 6'3" 290#. If you want room, go for a different car. I did achieve LOTS of room in my Contemporary Classic Cobra by removing the track that the seat rides on. I ended up going down 8" and back 8-9". LOTS of room now and all of my head is below the windshield. Get your seats made using high density foams and use your old seat covers. The foot box is another issue. I have size 14 shoe and bought the Simpson racing shoe as it has the smallest "footprint" of all the brands i researched. There appears to be some room to be gained by reconfiguring the foot box area and making the transmission tunnel closer to the transmission. I have a 427 which is very large but the smaller motors would afford more room if the modification was undertaken.
