Exactly what this man said.



I've said this elsewhere, and at cost of being repetitive, I'll point out an exciting fact (to me and my upcoming dec build spec). The number of gt3 with the 918-style buckets, is going to be so small, that these will end up being very desirable cars on used market. When you consider that it's only the USA cars which will get these 918-style seats, and you're talking 1-2 months production at most with not everyone speccing these, how many gt3 worldwide Will have this option??

True. When you think about it in that context, you have to be amazed that Porsche even made the effort to make these seats available. Most other companies would not bother.
