I'm 6'2"+ with a 34" inseam and I fit fine in my West Coast - now that I've changed the seats. Like Xack pointed out, the WC seats aren't a good fit for taller drivers, nor do they supply any lateral or lumbar support. The fact mine were covered in non-breathable vinyl made them even worse. In short, they suck.

I replaced my seats with a pair from a RHD Honda Civic Del Sol. They're narrow enough, but only barely - they can only move about 2" on the sliders. Regardless, they addressed all the shortcomings of the original seats, though they're far from faithful to the original seats.

As to authenticity, the WC Cobra is already different enough from the original cars I wasn't worried about the high back seats being an issue in that regard.
