I had the same problem....the obvious solution was to have the seat moved forward 6" and raised 3"....any competent body shop can fit the seat exactly where you want it for probably less than 100 bucks...
Pillows don't work and it made no sense to me to screw with the pedals.. especially the throttle.

CSX6069,
My wife is 5'4" and she needed to be a bit closer to the pedals in our (her ) CSX.
I removed the seat and was surprised that it couldn't be mounted forward without some decent modification. The only silver lining is that there were two sets of mounting holes that were about 1/2" apart. I was able to remount with those holes and gained that half inch which was better than nothing. If I recall correctly, it wouldn't be the easiest job to redo the seat altogether.
Watch the video of the guy who let his wife drive the cobra. Lol
Of course I saw that. Also watched many hit the wall at the drags. Both my daughter and her have driven faster cars . She managed to drive my old 427 Cobra in the 70's. She just wants to drive it every now an then. We really just use it as a driver. Daughter wants nothing to do with it. Oh my daughter was born on the day I picked up my 427. Kind of a deal I had with the wife
