How comfortable are the GT2 seats?
I am not a large person, 6'2" thin legs, 200 lbs. How comfortable are the seats? In my Porsche and G37 the seats are so narrow your sitting on top of the seat bolsters and after an hour or longer the bolsters start digging into your thighs.
I have a HTC on order with the 3LT GT2 seats with adjustable seat bolsters.

"Large" is relative... compared with me you're gigantic. Comfort is the kind of subjective thing everyone must decide for themselves. All the best.

I drove our C8 3LT w/GT2seats back from the NCM and the seats are VERY comfortable. I am 5 8 210lbs--New Year's resolution--lose some of it.

I have the competition seats and at 5’6” & 160 I would say they are comfortable but tight. Kind of a pain getting in and out. I wish I had the G2 seats but that’s what was on the car when I bought it.

GT2's are awesome. I am 6'5", 225lbs. I love being able to tighten up the bolsters right into my ribs when the road gets interesting and I want to release the hounds.....
We had a 6 hour drive home from the NCM on pick up day, and I had no discomfort at all....I know what the OP is talking about feeling like you are sitting on a "beam" with some seats and that is definitely not the case here....
As a plus, the GT2's are incredibly attractive seats. I would have gotten them just for appearance alone...the fact they perform well under spirited driving conditions is a bonus!

I'm the size of a college football tight end and the GT2s are very comfortable to me.

"fit like a glove" is how I would describe the GT2 seat comfort. Adjust the lumbar and bolsters to your body type and you are in like a glove comfortably.
I too am glad I upgraded the 2LT trim to the two tone GT2 seats!

You do know that the only adjustable bolsters are the ones on the seat back, around your ribs. The ones on the seat bottom that you talk about sitting on are not adjustable.
That said, I find the GT2 sears extremely comfortable, the best of my C4/C5/C7 experience.

I was just reading a magazine review that said some of their drivers didn't like the GT2 seats, but every time it comes up here I've not seen a negative review. I plan to get them.

Here's one. I wanted the GT2 seats because 2-tone but GF says get the black seats (she thinks I will get them dirty - probably true) so I could buy any seat. My C4 seats the lumbar bladders were the first thing that broke on that car even though I rarely used them. The GT1 seats in LT2 are heated and ventilated the same as GT2. So the only difference is lumbar and color. Based I did not care about lumbar because I dont pretend to track, we went with GT1. Basically, the cost of the GT2 seat here is $1875 and then 2-tone is $455 so $2300 just to have a different color and an upholsterer says he could do that for $1000 once I wear out the stock seats.
