I have read the Racing Seat Thread and am surprised that no one has attempted to use the MOMO - Start seat in their C6Z. This seat is FIA rated, minimal butt padding (I need to increase heard room - 6'2 with long torso) and is a decent price for a seat that I will only use during 6-8 Track Days per year. The plan is to use low mounts/sliders from a vendor like Marrad etc

When comparing the measurements to other seats that fit, I do not see any issues other than the front seat width (520mm). Does anyone run a seat this wide or foresee a reason why this seat would not work?

The following site has the measurements in MM - https://www.torqued.io/momo-start-racing-seat

I see a lot of Sparco Evo seats at events. I have an Evo II LF on Marrad sliders and I gain quite a bit of headroom when I remove the bottom seat cushion which just velcros in place. I am 6' 3"

i considered buying the Momo seat for the right hand side of my C4 (RHD) as they do have favourable sizes in both the Start and Super Cup seats.
Unfortunately actually being able to buy one is a problem, I see the link you provided has none in stock.
When I approached the Momo dealer I was told these seats are not currently being produced due to Covid issues in Italy.
I see that Summit has 2 of the Super Cup seats but none of the Start seats in stock.

lol, Amazon has plenty for sale with prime shipping (mono start) . Just bought one for a kart about three weeks ago. Took 3 days to arrive. They are what they are, very lightweight but little small for a 38” 6.5” guy. In a kart, it’s ok. For the Vette, I have Cobra seats on AMT rails. Gained headroom and even more leg room in my c6! Could not be happier !

Fwiw, one of my seats is a sparco circuit which comes with dense seat base foam- put my helmet into the roof. I reduced the foam thickness 1-2” and actually made replacement pieces from a memory foam mattress topper in lieu of the flat parts of the dense foam. This made a significant reduction in seating height, improved comfort, and effectively increased bolstering.

Sparco has awesome seats, I was just hoping to stay in the $500 range. The EVO seat appears to only be 10mm smaller across the front than the MOMO Start. Is it safe to assume that your seat would still fit if it was 10mm wider in the front?

I don't suppose you tried to put that Start seat in your Vette? Also, which Cobra seat did you go with?

Never put the Start seats in the Vette but I’m pretty sure they would fit. Momo Start seat is 10mm wider at base and 20mm wider on top but has less butt room, lol

I have Monaco pro seats (yes, FIA rated) which are wider Inside seat area which was my deciding factor— 15.5” for Momo start and Monaco Pro are 16”. I’m a 38” waist and the Momo seats are quite tight for me. BUT I have room between the sides of the seat base in the C6 with Monoco seats- easily 1-1.5” of space so 10mm being less than 1/2”, they would fit fine.
