Default 6'5 S2000 - Anyone tall in Baltimore?

Always wanted an S2000 and have sat in a couple of friends, though it has been over a year since I've last tried. Does anyone have an S2000 with some "tall guy" mods in the Baltimore area that I could maaaaaaaybe sit in? I remember the stock ones being uncomfortable but I can't seem to find a dealer (or anyone in my group of friends) that has one any more for me to even estimate from.

I know this is an odd request, but it may make an S2000 owner

I know there are kits to lower the entire seat in the car but at 5' 9" (if I don't slouch ) I don't know what you're gonna do about leg room as I think I'm within a click or two of the seat being all the way back. Perhaps a custom seat?

Neither the steering wheel nor pedals move on these cars either.

probably get a aftermarket seat that is thinner to push it further back, lower the seat with aftermakert rails, and get a aftermarket steering wheels with a short hub and or quick release. I am 5'11 and fit perfectly with a few clicks left to go back, although I have speakers behind the seats. I also have a quick release now, but that isn't to help me fit in it.

You can probably get some knee room and comfort by getting one of those flat bottom steering wheels.

I'm 6'3 and around 240. My car's over at Sportscar Shop in Sterling having a pair of OMP WRC-R XL seats installed as far back and as low as you can go without heavily modifying the floor pan. I should get the car back end of next week, and I'd be happy to meet up and let you take a seat.
