    Hi folks. I am looking at a potential California purchase. In reviewing the build sheet from the dealer, the car was spec'd with "carbon fibre racing seats".

    The car is a few hours away so before making the trip I thought that I would reach out here and ask if anyone has any personal experience with these seats and if so could give me your feedback. They look great. Just wondering about comfort.

    Thx as always!

    Carbon racing seats are the best for comfort from my experience. 3 Ferrari's with them.

    I recall there were 2 or 3 different sizes that were used to fit the racing seats to individual drivers.

    Make sure you speak with the dealer selling the car and have them verify whether the seats are sized correctly for you... or you may risk a wasted trip.

    Hehe. I'm 5'9" 165 and I'm not getting any bigger. But point taken about seat size vein an issue with these seats. I'll get out there over the next couple of months and check it out. These cars don't seem to be moving at the moment anyway.

    Only buy Ferraris with racing seats - way more comfortable than the other seat options. If you're tall they just set them lower. Get the large size which, is probably how most of them are specced anyway.
