Message The local race shop, OG Racing, has a few of these seats in their showroom... so I took the liberty to sit in them and see how most feel...

First a little info about my size... I'm 6'2", 200ish lbs... I wear size 36 silvertab jeans, normally with a belt... so, I'm your average joe... =)

They had the Torino, Evo2, and the Pro2000...

For a person my size... the Pro2000 is a tad on the narrow side... I fit... but not very comfortably... =(

The Evo2 was a lot better... Although I personally don't like fixed back seats, I think I could have dealt with driving in it. It was also a snug fit... but a comfortable snug if you know what I mean... You're not going anywhere in that seat! =)


The Torino was my personal favorite... The best way I can describe it is a huge improvement on the stock leather Z seats, but not in leather... lol. The seat is shaped and feels very similar to the stock seats in my Z... Except that it is a lot more snug in all the right areas. The leg bolsters are larger and feel like they'd hold a lot better in a corner. The side bolsters around the lower back/hip area are also snug in that you sink in just right... It was a little tight... but I was sitting in the seat with a belt on, and I have some extra pudge on the sides I could get rid of... But the seat was very comfortable. The last area of note is the shoulder bolsters... These bolsters make the stock seat seem like it doesn't even have them... In the stock seat, my back is always fairly loose and free to slide back and forth... with the Torino, they stick forward at an angle just enough to wrap around your shoulders enough to hold you in the seat... They're a great fit, and very comfortable. I'll definitely be getting a set for my Z through this group buy!

Later,
KaZ
