    Well that sucks. Just means thin people like me will slide around in the seat even more.

    LOL

    Mike's right, though...skinny folks will just slide more...then people like my parents will wonder why we purchase racing seats. hmm...maybe so we don't slide all over the damned place???

    Nothing wrong with wider seats - makes for more entertaining positions in the car :D

    Wider seats? My slim frame will be all over the place, heh... why not have an option of seat design, like 3 designs, one for really short/small people, an average size and one for people of larger girth?

    My problem with seats is typically I can't get back far enough to be comfortable...when you 6'4...

    Hell, I can't get in the newer Celica's driver...too big.
