Thanks Joe! Picked it up a few weeks ago via Carvana and already modded car in my eyes before it was released off truck!

Very nice,

I think the first base I've seen with PCCBs.

Where in Jersey? Monmouth County checking in

Represented mid-engines this AM at our local toybarn community C&C. Kind of a low turnout as the heat has set in, and the snowbirds are gone!

Wondering this myself. I also noticed there's much more buffeting than my 997 Cab.

Those seem like the 997 version of the folding bucket seats (can tell by the single seam in the bottom cushion). I just installed the drivers side of the 991 ROW folding bucket seats. They are very tight; tighter than the LWB seats on the base. Really hold you in on the corners.
As for comfort, I've only done ~1 hour in the seats at a time so far but zero complaints. Perfect height and recline for me. Ingress and egress is the only challenge.

Thanks for the insight! Probably amazing for hard driving but might be hard to live with for me since my Cayman is my daily driver.

Definitely. Also a pretty penny.

Big Pines Highway is much less known than other LA county roads like the ACH, and definitely farther from the city. But well worth a drive and was almost empty this Friday morning. There are views out over the high desert, and these trees with evidence of past wild fires.
