GT3 Touring. Seat selection
 
Changed my mind and going wing-less. Car won't be a daily driver, but I'm afraid not going with bucket seats defeats the GT appeal of the car?

Your thoughts?

I would leave light design and fire extinguisher out. Other than that looks great

I don't get buckets for the touring. Sofas make way more sense. The package is called "touring".

you already got rid of GT appeal by going wingless :nono: lol

seriously dump fire extinguisher it’s junk and my 2 cents is the best seat ever are the touring LWB with black cloth inserts....pissed they didn’t offer that on the non touring GT3, although my red stripe going from top to bottom is growing on me

What's wrong with buckets for the touring? I have them in mine and the only negative is they're a bit tough to get in and out of. Otherwise, they're great.

agreed, I have 4 991 gen GT cars and all have LWB specced, I’m not small and as you know once you get the technique down it’s not difficult at all. Besides since I’m a fat ass I consider it needed exercise.

Whoops....this might have turned into a sofas vs LWB discussion, forget everything I have wrote!!

As others have said they are a bit of a PITA to get in and out of, but they are super comfy and really look great in the Touring IMHO

LOL :roflmao: I have had people of "larger frame" have a very difficult time getting out of the LWB's. I'm not the youngest guy, so also think of it as exercise getting in and out of them.

I have heated 4-ways in my Touring, and find them comfortable, supportive, and great looking, with easier ingress/egress as a semi-DD. Getting them was a no-brainer for me, since I will be using the space behind the seats for soft luggage, and golf clubs. My 981 Spyder has the LWBs, which look great, and are comfortable once in them, though a bit more of a chore, understandably. For you, as a non-DD, I would go for the LWBs for cool factor if rear access is not an issue.

Cheers,

Claudio

You wanna truly feel the car? Get buckets.

this ^^^

lack of seat back angle adj is just stupid for a 'touring' car

Remind me again what the T stands for in GT3?

I went back and forth on this for my Touring - arriving in August. At first I was going to do the sofas - but decided to stick with the LWB. Im happy with the decision but both would work well. I don't think you can go wrong here.

I vote buckets and then fit the angle adjusters if you want a more laid back feel.
And if you decide to spec the extinguisher/bracket but don't like it, I will gladly buy it from you for 2x MSRP.....
