OK, to wrap this thread up I sat in another GT4 with bucket seats this weekend to test the amount of forward travel. It was IDENTICAL to my car and another GT4 with buckets that I sat in previously.
So, in conclusion, the forward seat travel with bucket seats is consistent across GT4's after being in three of them.
The LWBS in the 981 Boxster Spyder are able to slide much further up (closer) to the steering wheel (3-inches at least). I'm not sure if this is due to the location of the rear bulkhead in the Spyder or if they use different floor mount points to attach the seats.
Blah, thanks again for the help.
I went in to check on the status of my GT4 (v250 now) and spotted a GR/Carmine GT4, but unfortunately it was a customer's car so I couldn't check for myself
I told her about my issue and she said I should be fine because she's 5'4 (like me) and she was fine. I told her I don't want to take delivery of a car and not be able to drive it home. She told me it'll be fine so w/e- As long as they take care of the issue if it arises.

Would be interesting for someone with a spider to see if the rail is in a different position or is custom to the spider vs the GT4. If you look at how close the thigh bolster is to the front lower dash when the seat is fully up. 3 more inches of travel would make it impossible to get out of the seat without moving it back. I can barely get out without moving the seat back.
It's ridiculous that they would build a car where you would have to be over 5'5 to use LWBs. Why would they make the GT4 be different than all their other cars?
I just found the PCNA contact info so I sent them an email in hopes to get a response. I figured it doesn't hurt to try.

All the luck in the world, but I already tried to get them to build a GT4 with the Spyder's rear camera and the GT3's HD Radio only option (to avoid the SiriusXM roof wart) and they said no, and those are just regular option codes for items, not a customized implementation of an existing option such as you're requesting, so don't hold out hope.

Oh you also emailed PCNA and they responded? I don't expect a solution from them either. I'll prob end up having the rails modified if they stock ones don't work.

No, I asked my SA to talk to Porsche AG, which she did. They said no.
I cannot for the life of me understand why someone 5'4" cannot reach the pedals. It doesn't add up. My wife is 5'2" and has never had any problems reaching the pedals on any of my cars
