I have little kids. I actually prefer the plastic silver backs. Easier to clean and maintain with all the foot prints!

Good benefit I haven't thought of Deezmfnutz (hilarious). Also, depends on the interior and exterior. I ordered a silver GTS with 18 way sport seats with black interior. Gives it a nice contrast from the black leather and also ties in well with the exterior color. All black would have been too dark IMO.

Anyone else go sport plus seats to save weight? 18 ways weigh a ton. Sport plus felt identical to my back. Set it n forget it.

Sport Seats Plus are the same architecture as the 18-ways. Same seats, just without all the motors and bladders. So, they should feel nearly identical.

The main difference - comfort wise - is the fineness of seat back and seat bottom adjustment and, of course, the lack of lumbar in the manual seats. The shoulder, thigh and bottom length adjustments of the 18-ways are almost gimmicks.

Or, from another perspective: 18 way for a GT (Grand Touring) car and the manual seats for a Sports Car.

6'5" 229 pounds. The 18 ways keeps a person planted but not as good as the buckets. Compared to the C6 which offers zero ability to keep a person stay to stay put.

I just wanted to poke fun at all the folks waiting for the Sport Buckets for their GT4s and GT3s.

I fit in the Sport Buckets too. I just wouldn't want to use them for more than a 20 minute track session.

Its terrible the problems they have been having with fulfilling the demand for sports buckets
