I'm 6'-1" and 215 lbs. The stock seat is a bit to tight for me. Is there any chance the company that produced the seats for Dodge would make a seat with a wider gap at the hip and shoulders? If not how about the after market companies?

I have seen the seats but not sat in them and they look like they might be uncomfortable. I had an owner of an SRT mention that to me also.

Haven't you heard? They're targeting an entirely new segment of owners with the SRT. (Those that are 5'-9" to 5'-11" and 165-185#.)

I wonder if the side bolsters can be bent out at all? You would think that they might be padded metal and have some leeway.

Oh, and not to sound TOO head over heels with the car (spent all night trying to fix a water-filled reverse light

), but I think the seats are the best I have ever sat in a car. I am 6'0, 240 lbs (a chubby little fella) and they literally fit me like a glove. So far there have been no complaints from any passengers, but the true test comes this week when a few of our really big guys show up to check it out...

The only thing that I would really criticize about the seats is the lack of any lumbar adjustment. A simple air bladder (ala every Viper made prior) or even a two-position lever that turns a "blade" inside would be helpful. Otherwise I am trying to find a replacement for my office chair (Gen I/II seat)!

I heard that DC is making the seats for the CALIFORNIA Vipers adjustable to fit larger drivers...Maybe you should have waited for a CALIFORNIA car!

Hey Andy I saw your car in the shipping room at CAAP last week with a sign on the windshield that said "hold till 12-31-2003"

Bill Pemberton said to tell you to stop picking on me. Everytime you or Nanook Ferguson get me upset about my delivery time, I spend an hour on the phone with him so he can calm me down. He said get my car into D1 status already so he can ship some cars without the interruptions!
BTW, I lost your daughter's phone number...can you email it to me?
Hugs.
Andy

Andy... Tony said he had the California seats they had in the plant for your SRT sent to me. I will be sending my tight seats to CAAP for your car. Thanks for the heads up.
