Yes its prob time for me to look into a better seat. I have all the safety devices in my car an the beanch seat dosent fit the mold.
I do plan on running S/C this year. I have never had a racing seat ever. I want something that would be a good fit for me.
I do use a HANS device, I weigh 150 an like to set close to the wheel becouse of the pushbutton shifter. What seat do i need?

Kirkey pro street seat all the way...I don't think I could get in your car! Or if I did I could never get out.

I could car less if i ever do any good at all in S/C. There are Division 5 races around here. Those are the safest an fastest places to go. No delay box, no throttle stop, just a peddle. I just think that it would be darn cool. I can do burnouts further than a dragster an carry the front wheels. Its it all about having fun?

thats a lot of weight to go .000 to .025 on the tree to hang with the dragsters. good luck !
do you have to cut that seat in half to get it back out of the car ?

While definitely not "sleeper" looking at all, I would put a glass or carbon seat in it, similar to the ones in Pro-Stockers. Then you get the ISP insert that is molded to fit you. Being loose in the seat, is what gets people hurt. If the seat does not "fit" you, the belts can't be pulled tight enough to keep you in place if you crash. Shawn, I know you like the sleeper look and don't want to change it, but you should. Tony Russo's car is the same way. 8.40s in a bench seat is crazy.
Monte
and not only safer...look at all the weight you will lose..

i will try to find a better picture for the seat as mounted in relation to the door frame.i am 6'2" so my seat is back some but still close enough for the stock console shifter.maybe you want a seat with sides on it.

judging by the position of the bench seat a seat like mine would be OK.if it had sides you may have trouble getting out unless you had a removeable steering wheel.i dont think you want that either.some of the spearco[sp] seats looked nice but i dont know if you want less weight most of all.
