GT3 Seats and my Fat ***

Will my fat *** fit in a GT3 seat? I'm 5'11, 260 and wear 40-42" pants.

My wife is 5'4 and 110lbs so I don't think she will have a problem.

Love those seats...

Seth.

I've been wondering the same thing myself I am 6'2 220 and a 38 waist. I missed two sets because I was hesitant to pull the trigger because I didnt know if I would fit. Big men need seats too.

Really? So I might actually fit in them eh?

I wonder if there is anyone in the Seattle (redmond) area that has a set I could try to shoehorn my *** into.

If you can't joke about it right?

I've been fat and thin a few times... I was rock solid and massive (in a good way) then I got married! hehehehe... now I'm getting back into the fitness thing.

definitely find a car to try it out. imo the seat actually makes the interior a bit roomier than the stock seat because GT3 seat is much thiner. the butt is a different story though.

If you try them and get stuck, I guess you'll have to buy them!



Just kidding! Maybe someone can measure the actual width of the seating area. That might help.

I'm in Seattle, northwest of downtown. PM me for more directions and we can set up a time to meet. If you want to see the Ariel, you'll have to wait about a month or so because it's getting some work done.
