yeah, but unlike the Z, I bet they don't have the feature that when you lay your head back into the headrest, something inside the seat pokes you in the back!

I loved the feel of my C6 seats, they fit me perfectly.

I remember the first time that happened to me with my Z.

Rode in an Evo 8 when they first came out. Yeah, they were awesome when the girl was sliding it around corners, but like you said, I think they were impractical for long-term sitting. The Z's would work well enough sliding around corners, and I don't think I would feel too cramped on a road-trip. I find the Z's interior to be one of the most tasteful I have seen/set in at any price-point.

GTR has excellent seats, pretty comfy and they will hold you well in the twisties. Much better support than the 370z seats and light years beyond stock c6 seats. I think the recaros in the evo would be hell on anything more than a short drive.

m4a1mustang · 10-09-2010, 07:06 PM

The Z's seats have a good blend of bolstering and comfort, IMO. They aren't bad at all on a long drive. I drove 900 miles to St. Louis non-stop to pick up my Mustang and it was a comfortable ride.

Just don't lean your head back, as Mike said, or else you'll stab yourself in the back.

One of my considerations was a 06 vette with the Z51 pkg. at around the same price I payed for my Z, but I needed something different and I still have my 97 WS6 to drive around.

Wonder if your thread will get closed like mine.

This belongs in the 'Other Vehicles' subforum and donde estan the pics dude?

wilsonp · 10-09-2010, 10:21 PM

I believe that is the active head restraint system for rear end collisions.

cossie1600 · 10-09-2010, 11:41 PM

If you don't go on the race track, get the C6 as it is a much better daily driver with almost everything better (room/fuel mileage/power). On the other hand, the Z is much easier to drive close to its limit than the Corvette at the track. With all that said, the C6 is still a faster car at 85%

I went from an 04 350 to 05 C6, now back to a 370.

Yup this is probably the only thing that bugs the hell outta me too. Kinda sad that you have to put the seatbelts on for an empty seat, LOL!

cossie1600 · 10-10-2010, 02:18 AM

That's a stupid feature. Of course the Nissan has a metal rod poking you in the back if you try to lean back
