GT3 seats REALLY comfortable??

Ok guys, as you all know I have gotten the GT3 seat bug...as I get ever closer to getting some I am kinda concerned about the comfort of um...I hear a lot of people say they are comfortable, but I just wanna see what everyone thinks...
In case it helps I am 5'11" and I weight 155-160LBS however I am stacked horizonally I have pretty broad shoulders (anyone have a single daughter or sister).
I mostly drive short distances, but I do make a trip to Miami at least once a week (about 1-11/2 hour each way). Also I will be doing the 12 hour drive to N.C. in dec. and I don't wanna regret it then either...
Thanks for the help,
Evan

I am 6'2" and 200 lbs. mostly muscle, the GT3 seats are the most comfortable sport/racing seats I have been in, including almost all of the Sparco's, and they are much easier to get out of than what you think.

I'm with David & JAS...

The most comfortable seats I've sat in, in a while...I like really supportive seats, not interested in those comfy seats...

I like these better than those in the 745 (20 way adjustable) or any other car I've sat in. It's amazing how Recaro built a seat to fit so well ! Kudos

I have driven as long as 6 hours in them and they are plenty comfortable.

Ok, sounds like they are comfortable...however, do you sit STRAIGHT up?? I mean I don't drive like most kids my age in the back seat, but I sure as hell am not all up on the steering wheel .
