Default GT3 seat praise.

I have to say that the driving experience now with my GT3 seats has completely changed.

With the GT3 seats, you are "forced" into a perfect drving position.
I just feel so much more in tune with this car, and it shows in the way I am driving it now.

Yes the seats provide more of a firmer ride, and yes they are a little more difficult to get into, but I feel anyone who is still using the stock seats are really missing out in the GT3 experience.

I concur in that opinion -- the seats really do make a difference in the driving experience.

I also vote for the GT3 seats. Better matched to the suspension than the regular ones we get. More comfortable by far as long as you fit them.

Nothing like driving this car with your a$$ bolted to the floor boards. These seats bring the driving experience to a new level!!!

IIRC the SPG is a little tighter than the GT3 bucket through the ribs and shoulders and a little less comfortable. It's been a while. They both hold well, especially with harness or properly used seatbelts. Cloth seats are probably better in a pure sense than leather but the leather one's hold just fine and are more durable and easier to clean than cloth. GT3 seat is one of the most comfortable seats I have sat in.

Hey guys, I haven't been around chat rooms much, I can figure out FWIW, IMHO, and a few others , but what in the world does IIRC stand for?

Thanks,

Gary

I am at around 235 pounds and a GT3 seat is a tight comfortable fit, I can't even get down to the cushion in an SPG because the sides are so tight.
