Sofa owners always feel the need to justify their choice. LWB owners on the other hand… not so much.

Bucket bois= closet lounge lovers.

Closet bucket regret is so real, but not as real as sofa ridicule and ostracization. Sciatica or exclusion, as a GT3 owner you have to choose. I choose physical rather than emotional pain every time.

If you want comfort seats, get yourself a Turbo S or a Touring with sofa seats. A GT3RS is went to aggressive mean fast driving begging to be taken to the track and canyons so the more appropriate seats for the car are the bucket seat. Think of how out of place a CGT with sofa seats would look. I kind of wish Porsche wouldn't allow buyers to open sofa seats in RS cars, that might eliminate some demand.

I'd secretly love to run a sofa with added pressure relief cushion, but just couldn't deal with showing up to the track gate and them assuming I'm there for catering or massage services or something

Not communication hearsay. Just take a look and see how many people have asked about getting 18ways after market. In concept sure the buckets are cool, but practicality not what one would want for a daily driven car. Keep in mind though, most yall won't drive your highline cars an actual significant amount to understand this concept.

Yet bucket guys are the vocal ones to chastise the folks that get 18ways lol. Nice logic.

Can you define Newbie? Would you believe me if I told you I know of dealerships that have actually had hard times reselling 992 GT3s due to having buckets? ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​

I rest my case

You play them with the windows down going slow through town. When you’re hauling *** down the highway with windows up, it’s more than likely Eric Clapton.

PS- for full disclosure I had no idea what those two names were. I had to look it up.

My 992 TTS has 18waysMy GT4RS has 18waysand My 992 GT3RS will have 18ways. My Vipers have what came with Sabelt OEM seats and they aren't what you'd want to cruise in and they're actually more comfortable than the oem porsche buckets. That all said, why would someone want to daily an uncomfortable vehicle? ​​​​​​​

Yeah, but looking at the aftermarket availability of buckets in the event someone wants to buy after the fact that's the more logical choice than downgrading My spec.

I've become accustomed to Beats noise canceling earbuds as of lately putting more miles on the GT4RS. Valid having to look up the names, I sadly couldn't speak to a single Eric Clapton tune.

As predicted, the sofa vs bucket debate has (temporarily) interrupted the ADM discussion

It's intentional. Threads for the 3RS were a tad stale.
