Default FS Caravaggio Race Seat

One fiberglass Caravaggio Race Seat Black Leather with black alcantara inserts and red stitching. Also has ZO6 embroidery to match the stock seat. The back of the seat is painted black. New $1,395.00. Asking $800 firm. Price DOES NOT include shipping. I am willing to ship, but will not be held responsible. My zip code is 33634 for those looking into the cost of shipping. Please PM me and I will respond as soon as I can (couple days usually).




Sorry for the sideways photos. I tried to correct on my computer and photobucket with no luck.

I can only guess the mileage on the seat. Perhaps 4-5K
Weighs approximately 17lbs
My Z has been sold, so I cannot accommodate a test ride.
As for comfort, it is a night and day difference vs. the factory seat. Not only is it 100% better on the track, but daily driving is far more comfortable.
The seat will work with your current seat rails and all the power functions will work, so position/angle shouldn’t be a problem.
I’m 6 feet tall, and when I bought the seat I weighed 220lbs (38” waist) and I had no problems! I’m now weigh 185lbs (34” waist) and the seat still fits perfect. If you are taller than 6’2” tall with a waist larger than 40” I would advise against it.
I wish I could put this seat in my new car!
My office is just north of Tampa International Airport. If you are interested PM me and we will exchange phone numbers.

I'm 6'0" @ 225lbs so it sounds like a winner. I'll send you my number via PM but I won't be in Tampa until mid-March so if you sell prior too just let me know.

Bump for an awesome seat. I had these in my C5Z, and they were fantastic, actually wish I would have sold the car without them, because I will definately be buying a set for my next car!!
10x more comfortable than stock seats for daily driving, long trips, or competition!

Hi,

[1] I'm debating hard on this, will it look weird with just the driver's seat being "aftermarket"? Did you have both seats changed in your Z? 99% of the time it's just me in the car, so I'm very tempted to get this seat.

[2] What 's the shipping cost to 93301?

[3] Does the seat come with everything that's needed to install, in an 06 Z06?

[4] Any damage on the seat?

[5] What's your new car?
Thanks,

I'm also mulling this over. Would want to ship to 94087. If I were to want a matching passenger seat, is it safe to assume that Caravaggio can make another seat that matches fairly well?

Not sure on the rating. I used a 5 point harness.

Thanks,
1. I only changed the driver's seat. I didn't care what others thought, but I thought it looked good. The laymen couldn't tell the difference, unless they sat in it. Much more comfortable.

2. Please PM if you are serious and I will look into the shipping.

3. The seat comes as is. I used all the existing parts that the stock seat uses.

4. The only damage I can point out is a scratch on the bottom, which will not be seen when installed.

5. 08 F430 Scud

I would assume they could. I did not have anything special done when I ordered. PM me if you are serious and I will look into shipping.

PM sent.

Is your F430 manual or automatic? I understand that 90% of the, sold were automatic. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
