With the seat pushed forward to allow for a rear passenger, the center of mass of the driver is 185-188 pixels from the front axle and 149-152 pixels from the rear axle.
That puts the driver COG only 55-56% towards the back, but the seat looks like it can go back another ~25 pixels. It only needs to go back 12-15 pixels in order for the driver and front passenger COG to be 60% towards the back. That diagram's scale is approximately 3.3-3.4 pixel/inch, so you could still push the seat back another 3.5-4.5" past that point.
It's an old FT86 concept II image, but you get the idea. |
This photo proves my point. The weight is frontward bias because the driver or most of his body is ahead of the centerline. It is not behind the center of the car.
