370 one of the best road trip vehicles

Revlus · 05-23-2010, 10:39 AM

So I sat in my first 370z yesterday and even went for a test drive... Touring, Sport, with Nav, and AT. My 250lbs isn't all gut related... lol. I crossfit and have a lot in my shoulders/lats. The spine of my back didn't feel like it was hitting the back of the seat at all... because those shoulders bolsters or whatever you call them just kind of grabbing my lats and pinching them up. Very uncomfortable. :-(

The bottom of the seat/legs/butt, etc. were absolutely fantastic. Similar to what my old '96 Corvette had, and I used to drive that 12/14 hours straight from Chicago to NY all the time.

Has anyone had experience with the upper part of the seat by your shoulder blades relaxing and softening a bit?? Would hate to buy a new car just to put in new seats right away.

I think you asked the question of the hour. And rather than ask how big everybody's a@@ is (how would we compare that...micro tons? Inches?) If we buy a Z and the seats are killing us, what do we replace them with?

Is there a section on replacement seats for comfort vice performance? How do you join words in a forum search, like replacement and seats, or comfort and seats?

How about butt implants, or a prosthetic ***...Which is cheaper? New seats or 10 pounds of collagen mixed with a quart of botox? Err is that an aftermarket idea?

Hah! And the ex thinks I'm stupid. New procedure would be called "buttox." Any plastic surgeons out there?

I'm 6'-0, 240lbs. I've made numerous trips of over 7 hours, and will do it again. The Z seats are just great in my opinion.
