I actually have very long legs and arms. I'm 6'2, 153 lbs.

I have Bride Pro non-adjustable seats that are upright and yes, maybe 2 clicks from the front. I have size 12 shoe and I heel toe just fine. My head does sit quite high up and I have to lean down to see a light change if I'm in the front of a line at stoplight but the car fits like a tight glove.

My avatar of me driving that GMC van is exactly how I sit in the S2k.

I feel like I have more control of the car this way.

I'm 5'7", my seat is like 2 or 3 clicks from the front. I'm about 10 inches away from the steering wheel. Very comfortable.

If you're not sitting upright with your wrists able to sit on top of the wheel when arms are extended, you're sitting like a ricer.

I'm 6'2 and my seat is only 1 or 2 clicks from the FRONT.

I adjust the sliding part of the seat so that when I fully depress the clutch pedal my knee is comfortably bent (no locked). Then I adjust the seat back angle so that my wrists rest on the top of the steering wheel with my arms straght out, elbows locked.

This is how I was taught at HPDE.

haha, when I lived in NY, I'd see people leaned so far back I'd barely see their eyes over the door and they can barely reach the wheel with their arms.

I would see this at least once a day. Good times.
