If the seat wiring for the US spec 991 gt3 will not 'work' with the current 991/981 Euro/ROW gt2 type sport bucket seat (airbag/folding), why buy them to bring over on your flight home? The seat's airbags will not be 'operable' and the passenger seat sensors will not register on your US spec 991gt3! Fault codes will light up on your instrument panel like a Christmas Tree! Why spend the money for safety stuff that will NOT work with your US 991?
For the track, just use a dedicated racing seat from Recaro (or other maker) & call it a day! It is a cheaper & better solution than the expensive 991/981 Euro gt2 types seats that will NOT work properly on your US spec 991 gt3 in any case! And it is Hans ready & usable with proper 6 point racing harnesses!

2:174 a few of them on RA1 figure a 2:15 with Hoosiers and a clean lap, a few secs faster on slicks but this is in the mighty stock except for LSD 4.0.
Eddie's cheater 3.8RS was down 30HP and I'm sure even more torque and he ran 2:15 on slicks. no LD!!
He is faster or at the very least as fast with much less practice.
We were both a second off our TBL due to traffic, so subtract another second to compare to 991GT3 on an open track.

It takes 20min per seat to swap. You can order a Cup seat from Porsche Motorsport that is a direct bolt in - 4 screws per seat. In 997, though. I assume similar could be valid for 991, but to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, over at the Nurburgring...
'Giant all-white *****...poses low-grip safety hazard'. A once-in-a-lifetime, 'headline for the ages'! Now part of the history of this world famous racing venue!
"The fabled Nordschleife, the treacherous layout alongside the modern Nurburgring formula one circuit, had to be closed for a time on Sunday.
Austria's APA news agency reports that graffiti artists painted a giant 15 by 4-metre all-white ***** on the asphalt of the famous layout.
Circuit authorities deployed specialised cleaning vehicles to remove the graffiti, and local police confirmed that the facility had to be closed for 90 minutes.
The police estimate that the graffiti involved about 20 litres of white paint, posing a low-grip safety hazard for those lapping the Nurburgring."
