Default Would I fit?

When I weighed 235lbs I was very uncomfortable in my friend's 90 ZR-1.
I am now down to 185lbs and wondered if I would be comfortable. I'm
5'11. My friend sold his car, so I don't have one to try out. What say you ZR owners?

I am 5'11" and was weighing 290. I am dieting for a body building show and now 258 with a 32" waist. So I am bigger accross the back than the waist. The late C4 seats are best for bigger people. 94-96. But if your down to 185, you should be fine.

Ben the only firment issue is the case of bolster butt as the seat pans are fairly narrow. Im 6ft 2in and 240. I just bought 96CE seats and fitment is not a problem. 94-95 Z owners can chime in but they will agree as well.

90 Zs are quite a bit narrower in the seat. I fit well, but am 170 and 5"8". I fit almost anything. My wife says the seats squeeze her, but she's getting into buffalo butt territory.

You guys all weigh more than me but I have a bigger waist - 38". I guess it's more time on the treadmill for me. I'm sure my wife would agree.
