Default West Coast Leg Room is related to the seat.

I have been in my buddies West Coast which is a 96" and there is now way I could drive that car. Knees hit the dash. Also Classic Roadster which is longer. My knees hit the dash.

Even with my thicker wallet, I fit in the BDR. I have to watch my shoes though. I tend to wear my "water shoes" to give me more foot room between gas pedal and brake pedal.
West Coast Owner here,
You have to modify the dash on request from the factory and put different seats in it. The factory seats lean you back and push your pelvis forward a bit. If you put seats like the AC or Shelby style and mount them directly to the floor, you'll have no problems what so ever. I'm 6'2" 35" inseam and when I push my foot down on the clutch, my knee it's fully extended.

Now, purchasing a West Coast... why you would or would not is entirely a different question... More on this if you have any curiosities.

Xack
