My hips are too wide, my back is too tall and my shoulders are too wide (I'm 6'4" and built like a skinny lineman - 260lbs) for the GT3 seats. I'd have to bolt it directly to the floor for my head to clear with a helmet.
I wanted them but cannot.
One of the seat manufacturers makes a seat for us larger people with bigger ***** but I'm not so sure I want to lose my power heated seats.

The GT3 seat isn't a "real" racing seat, I mean it's too heavy and actually more comfortable than a "real" racing seat (yes it really is) but I like the compromise/balance they provide. And then there's the "other" weakness of ALL 996 (especially the TT) and 997s being the weight. At least the seats get rid of some!
