The seats are fine for me and I'm a big guy(6'1, 290). What I have a problem with is the position your whole body is in. My legs get cramped after 20 min and there's nowhere to move them. My left arm gets sore from resting it on the high window sill and my right shoulder hurts because the armrest is so low.
The seat itself doesn't bother me, decent support and doesn't cut into my legs.

 

Sorry to bring this old thread back to life....but I am planning on taking my Z from Sacramento, CA to South Carolina. Any recommendations, I have clear bra on there but I still want a nose mask to I'm already looking to buy that.....what else do yall recommend?

 

You probably would have been better off starting a new thread; not everyone will get to the third page to answer you.

You might consider adding a lumbar support:

Other suggestion is time; be sure you have plenty. Also, if your going this time of year I'd drop down to Socal and take southern route across country... avoid snow & ice.

Sounds like fun to me; enjoy the ride.

 

The Z kills my back after an hour.

 

Got you all beat, Ive driven 32 hrs straight with my 06 ZR, I'm in the ARMY im from new jersey and im stationed in Texas. Ive done the trip from TX to NJ and I tell you what, its more than pain in the ***. Thats the last time im ever driving that trip again, Im going to flat bed my ZR from now on. The trip was like 1600 miles from TX to NJ. Once i got to NJ i had to change oil right away and scrape off all the dead bugs on my windshield. I taped my front bumper up so I wouldnt get any rocks chip off my paint job, i got all type of weird looks from people I was passing by. My ZR made the trip safely, I checked everything under the hood and under the car, even checked my rims and tires and there was not a single dent or scrape. That was my last trip that I really got to enjoy my ZR, I bought it late december 06 then the 07 HR engine came out man I was pissed off. I only got to put 2600 miles on my car before I deployed to Iraq.

 

I'm 43. 6 foot and about 230. Did NoCal to Bremerton WA (near Seattle) and back 3 days later with just stops for gas and some quick eats. No complaints. I did change the seat position a couple of times.

 

i had that problem 2 but with a quick adjustment if the seat and lumbar i felt very comfortable

 

No probs with mine , 4 hours to NCSD every few months

 

One of our forum members has everyone beat, for the longest road trip in a Z. Member = Longbowe and his father went cross country, up to Canada, then back cross country:

During his road trip he made stops at a few forum members homes. When he came to Houston, me and the old lady took him and his father out for some dinner and brewskies:

I have a nose bra. It's really good for road trips, as long as it doesn't rain. A soggy nose bra is not a good thing...

 

i drove 6 hours to austin stayed for a meeting then an hour later drove 6 straight hours back to OKC it was pretty nice for me lol. I had to get out and stretch my legs about every 3 hours but other then that it was a very pleasent drive. I enjoy taking the Z on roadtrips alot. I think its really comfortable for being a sports car.

 

My Z leather seats are very comfortable. Zero body pain issues.

 

I slept in my Z for the first week i got it, was paranoid someone would try to molest it. I slept like a baby in Z, 19 5'11 175

 

ive actually slept in my z before as well. in the passenger seat, i thought it was comfy as hell.

Ive driven 4 hour trips a lot, and the only thing that hurts is my ear...
(exhaust is way too loud for long trips. need to do something about that... haha)

 

6'4" 210 lbs here. I've taken the Z on several 2-3 hr trips and have never had problems with my back. I have an 07 touring, FWIW

 

I had the same problem yesterday. 8 hours in the Z after about 4 my lower back and *** started hurting, now today my *** is actually sore. I'm 22 also!

 

you've just to find that sweet spot thats comfy for you and your body.
