Vehicle feedback sensation?

Spoiler · 01-18-2016, 12:36 PM

Quick question about driving my new Z…

Though I am somewhat new to the Z scene, I have already learned that driving a car like this requires a certain finesse that comes from both experience and driver feedback (or sensation) from the vehicle.

My question is this… I have the touring edition with leather seats. If I were to purchase some leather pants to wear when driving my Z, would it help or hinder the feedback I would be feeling during “spirited” driving?

Thanks in advance for any advice

uhhhhh..... I guess since leather is thicker than denim for example you wouldn't feel your heated seats anymore. But idk if it will hinder how the car feels on your asss

Yeah, I would imagine leather pants would lessen the feedback you would get, if I were you, I would just take off your pants whenever you get in to maximize the feedback.

My default driving attire is assless chaps. To feel more connected to the car.

Hmmm, I guess I didn't think about the heat coming through the perforated leather seat covering... However, as I have not yet bought the outfit, possibly I can try to locate some perforated leather pants. That would probably solve that problem.

Thanks for the comment.
