Because the 18 Way Seat option is rare so I was curious about who took the plunge. I've been looking on line and can't find anything on the market. Also, if you ever want to sell, I'm here!!!

No, I (and Pete Stout) find the standard 4 Way seats to be the most comfortable and reordered them on my GT3.2.
They also work OK for me on the Track. I have the 18 Ways on my '15 Turbo S and 14 ways on my Panamera S,
but found the 4 Ways the most comfortable for long distance driving and spending many hours in them, as does my wife.
Ordered LWB's on my GT3RS but found them less comfortable and a PITA for using the storage space behind the seats
and getting into and especially out of the car. For serious Track, I prefer Nascar Type HALO seats alternative for Head/Neck protection..

agree w turbo and Pete.

I have 4way for .1 GR GT3 and I’m getting them on on my .2 GT3, as they’re more comfortable and lighter than 18 way seats.

My .1 GR GT3 w 4 way seats will be for sale this October.

I have 4 Ways in my 997. They are great seats. I just assumed that the 18 Way would be better. I'm also anti-bucket since I am 6 feet and 220 lbs. The sides are just too narrow for my tastes.

18 ways are definitely better seats depending on your size and shape. I have them in my GT3 T.

How have you been enjoying the GT3-T? Does it get any additional attention?

I have 18-ways in my Guards Red, but I bought a car that was already built. Definitely not my first choice, but I have no complaints.

Funny I'm 6'2" 230 and love the lwb's. Definitely comes down to preference, try before you buy if possible.

I'll have a set of silver stitch 4 way .2 GT3 seats for sale this coming Summer, spec'd mine with 4 ways only to realize I wanted LWBS so I have a set of buckets ready to rock and roll and will sell the 4-ways to eat some of that cost

Just mentioning that as if you can't find a car with the specific seat you are looking for but everything else checks out, you could get lucky and find a pair

Sounds like we have roughly the same physical dimensions... I have 18-ways now, and find them too narrow for both my thighs and back.

But 4-ways and buckets fit me like a glove. Go figure.
