Default ZR-1 Sport Seats Question

I am a little confused still about ZR1 Seats.

The Sport Seats -- between 1990-1993 Seats and 1994-1995 .... which Seat is more comfortable on long trips? Which Seat has more cushion? The reason I ask is I am 5' 9', about 165 lbs but have a right hip socket problem/pain from an accident back in the day so I want to purchase a ZR1 that offers the most comfortable Seats.

My current 1993 C4 base seats feel pretty good. However, I've never sat in a ZR1 and the 1990-93 Sport Seats look very different to the 1994-95 Sport Seats.

Any help/advice appreciated - Thanks!

94 and 95 are referred to as the fat man seats.

I have sport seats in my 90. They are very comfortable no strain on the lower back or leg cramps. I have driven for hours without any discomfort.

For someone your size I would say the 90-93 seats are more comfortable as they are softer and the side bolsters snug you in more...the 94-95 sports are better if you're a big guy and look a little better IMO though especially torch red vs the bright red..

Oh, that's politically correct. (dripping in sarcasm)


I'm a skinny challenged person at 5'8" and 250 pounds and I fit the '90 Sport Seats in my ZR1 quite nicely thank you.
Longest drive I've taken in about 3.5 hours with no problems.
Wouldn't want to drive it cross country, but day trips for sure.

I fit in the the 90 style seats and liked them, but something about the bottom cushion made my leg cramp after driving a long time..

with the 94-96 the only pain I get is my knees since I cannot stretch them out while in the car (or most cars)

I switched the passenger sport seat from a 89 Corvette to the drivers side in my 91 ZR-1. A big improvement in comfort in my opinion. The drivers seat that was in the 89 was actually more comfortable than the passenfger seat but was wearing out so I gave it to the ZF Doc one day.
