I just got done dropping some stuff off for my brother and he said I wasn't a real driver because I didn't lean my seat back all the way. At 5' 10" 149lbs I like to have it straight up so I can see better, all the way back though so my legs aren't destroyed. Anyways, is it really better to have the seat leaned back all the way?
Dumb question, feel free to flame me; though I really don't see how it makes you better if you lean the seat back.

 

Makes you look ganstah yo!

 

lmao Gangsta Lean!!!!

 

Lol, that is what I was thinking.
I'd rather be able to see everything better than to be leaned back all the way like I'm driving a lowrider or sorts.

 

Hell nah. doesnt make you any better of a driver than a mexican driving a pick up.
lmao!

 

It also helps to wear a flat-billed hat. Bass that overpowers everything else helps as well.

 

i drive with my seat somewhat back as i drive relaxed i guess you can say not so much gangsta LOL
TwEaK

 

i wouldnt be able to see crap if i did, i understand if your tall and cant fit... "your not a real driver, because you dont lean back enough?" you dont see Lemans' or F1 drivers leaning back when they drive their cars? and they're real "drivers"

 

wow..... just wow

 

Ill lean the seat all the way back when I take a nap in ther car. lol
Im only 5'6" so I wouldnt be able to see crap!

 

haha go to a local autocross lean your seat all the way back and see how many cones you will hit.

 

Upright posture with your arms slightly bent at the elbow is the best position. Leaning back with your arms stretched out to reach the wheel or being too close to the wheel is not ideal. He probably thinks you aren't a real driver because you granny shift and don't double clutch like you should... just ask any racer... any real racer... Vin Diesel prefered.

 

this and you got to have 50 cent playing loud , also has to be a visor with spiked hair , but dont forget to put 20's on your car (Y)

 

Really someone honestly made that comment. I must not be a good driver, because My seat will never lean back. I hate when people do that ****.

 

Lol, okay as long as you guys say it doesn't make me a p... girl.
I don't double clutch mostly because it wouldn't work as my tranny is f-d.
I'm not even going to justify "granny shifting" with a reply.
Whoops; I didn't mean it wouldn't work I meant that it wouldn't matter.
I've got to rebuild the tranny and replace the clutch when I get the engine rebuilt anyways.

 

I sit straight up! Its nice to see the road, and its easier to shift IMO..Posture is important :P.... My friend sits with his seat all the way back, he looks So CoOl Yo! Yea right....

 

Read this, this site has some good info.

I lean back SOME. Just enough so my lower back doesn't hurt. I have a fixed back driver seat now with the front mounts at max high and the rear mounts at max low, otherwise I have almost NO head clearance and forget about wearing a helmet.....lol.

 

I lean back enough to keep my head from bouncing off the headliner.

 

No offense but either you'r brother has no clue what he is talking about or he's just messing with you, wich brothers tend to do :P

 

Note driver is sitting upright cause he's not an idiot.

 

your brother is retarded

 

lol!

 

Any REAL racer.....

I wish i could find that retard with the red glx on youtube leaned back and jumping hard back and forth into the seat during shifts. Left arm at a 90* angle with chest, seat back resting atop the rear bins.....
