Would sand bags work for you?
Close to 10 years back a shop I was working for provided an s15 Silvia for a tyre commercial for a fairly well known brand.
Part of the ad involved jumping said s15 off a ramp. I had to work with the stunt driver and coordinators to rig up the car for the jump. I had to fit a bash plate under the engine and then ballast up the rear end so it flew pretty flat. We used thin sand bags layed in the spare wheel well and in the cavities in the rear quaters. We added about 200kg in weight total. i made a cover for the spare wheel well as a precaution. Everything stayed in place well during the jump. It was a couple of the best days at work ive ever had.
Measure the length and width of the area you plan on mounting it to then go here and start guessing at thickness to get where you need
Two 2.25"X12"X23" plates under the seats would get it low and in the center of the car for 175.9lbs each.

I am thinking an inflatable "love doll" filled with sand instead of air, strapped into a racing seat with a 5 point harness, and a helmet.
One could even use an out of date harness and helmet, with the argument that they are there as ballast, not safety devices.
