Sit in the seat and drive the car.

Answering questions for self = ftw.

Haven't had any issues with the seats sliding around.

I have driven one, well, several, but my 'vette had solid seats when new, and now they tend to move around a bit. I loved the car on first impression (both the Z06 and the 370Z), I'm just curious how time treats it, and I don't want to answer that for myself if someone else can do so for me.

My one MAJOR complaint about the 370Z was the blind-spot. It was insane.

PS. I heard the head-rests were that way on purpose and it was a "feature"?

What do they call that feature? The "stab you in the back" feature?

It means that the person in question is letting reputation of the car or the brand get in their way of exploring or enjoying the vehicle.

blind spot is bad.

The head rests are the way they are to prevent whiplash, from what I understand. the lower part is supposed to stabilize the head/neck area in the event of a crash.

Yes, the way I understand it, the seats in new vehicles like that are like a really crappy external HANS device. Kindof cool.
