I am 265 pounds 6'2" and have a 40" waist. I like to mountain drive and do HPDE days in my 03 zo6. I NEEEEEED!!!!! a racing seat soon. Please chime in on your opinions to the biggest seat you can think of, that WILL fit in the zo6 with the door closed and the window up. Without shaving any plastic? Thanks folks.

MY advice to you is find a local dealer that has seats on display to try out...

I'm 5'10.. 220lbs.. 32" waist.. I body build.. so I'm all upper body and legs.. I'm currently looking at seats.. this Friday Im hitting up a dealer because he carries the 3 most common brands to decide what my butt fits in.

Yea i just dont know if "dealers" have many big seats on their floor. I was hoping someone has had experience, or vouch for the size of a specific seat. But I do appreciate your info, so thank you for that.
