Guys who want sporty seats suitable for track but usable on the street, but are of 'atypical' proportions, may want to look into other options from Sparco, OMP, etc., which have more options as far as sizing. IMO, a seat that fits well is key to enjoying a car, so I suggest not compromising too much in that regard.

Okay, forgive me if this is a foolish question, but these "height adjustable" seats we're speaking of, are they the same seats that one can configure in the 991 GT3, or are these a separate aftermarket item? At this stage I'm kinda confused.
TIA for clarification.

Sport bucket seat image (attachment #1) provided by kfmcmahon earlier on this thread. Attachment #2 & #3 from PCNA's US Configurator today. Attachment #2 has been there since this thread was started. Attachment #3 was added today. It further explains what the option includes (something which was not fully explained from the day the option was initially added to the configurator).
Saludos,

Is anyone else wondering what fire extinguisher will come with the 918 bucket seats? I wonder if they will come with the big FE like in the club sport package, or the standard small bottle?

What is estimate on How many cars produced between nov and stop-sale in jan? How many of those will have buckets.. 50%. Curious how many gt3 will end up with 918-style buckets
