Well, I decided against taking a softer car for this extended road trip and went w the GT3.

Overall, I don't regret my decision; 1,000 mile there and back was a nice way of getting used to the car.

As it relates to the comfort of the seat, the 500MG of Magnesium I took every 2.5hrs or so kept my muscles relaxed helping remediated tension in my lower back and neck.

I will insert foam or pillow padding behind the suede liner in the future to help with some of the discomfort.

I have L2-S1 fused and the buckets work fine for me. Did 1000 mi. in 2 days without issue.

I did a 900 mile trip in my 997 GT3 with buckets. Probably the best seats I've ever sat in for a long trip like that.

I've done two 1800 mile round trips this year with no issues. My build is a little smaller, so no issues, although, at my age I find it necessary to stop about every three hours; not because of the seats.
