interesting question because if you take into acct the decreased value of car overall, the seats should be 600-900 bucks not 1200-2000 dollars +

I would guess the seats are worth $6,000 or so.......slightly more than GT2 seats

With GT2 seats, besides weight I am not sure why you woudl want them

The only challenge with the switchcars gt3 is that at $96.5 it is in RS.1 territory... it is a beautiful car though...

Switchcars, that is indeed a lovely, very tastefully modified car that looks just right to me. But, as PJ points out, there's been a certain White / Black 07 RS that's right in the same ball park, and wasn't an extraordinarily quick 'fire sale' type event. Certainly an RS should be worth @ $10K+ more than a 'regular' GT3? The modifications are something that I value, as they are right up my alley, but they are worth cents on the dollar in the resale market. Don't most people want clean, original cars anyway?

Thanks to the many folks who've presented me with so many choices that it becomes really difficult. Ultimately, it seems there's good selection out there in the range that I want to pay. So, the good news is that I'll finally be joining the GT3 family in the near future (I've been in love with these cars since I first drove a 996 GT3 in 2004, and have never wanted anything else)! The bad news is that I can't buy them all!

Hopefully some good news soon!

You are correct.....we sold a set recently for $6500 plus shipping.

Yes, this car is in RS territory, but, asking prices are just that. If you figure the seats and harness bar and exhaust alone are worth $8k+ on the secondary market, (none of which are on an RS), and getting a few grand knocked off the asking price.....all of a sudden it starts to become a good value (in my opinion).
This is, to date, the nicest GT3 I think I've seen, considering the factory options, the condition, and the tasteful and pricey upgrades.

The benefit to a non rs is it is much cheaper to track insure than a rs

According to WSIB

I've got a pair of GT2 folding carbon buckets sitting in my garage waiting to go on the car that I end up getting. I like them that much! I've also got a bunch of other stuff ready to go, so I can start enjoying the car ASAP when one gets to me. Engine mounts, Winter tires, Wheels, etc. It'll be a one day 'pimp my ride' kind of thing.

Those Carrera GT / Clubsport seats are really, really cool pieces to have. MSRP in Canada for a single seat is about $10K CDN!

I'm really looking for a luxury GT3 (I know it's a bit of a contradiction), as I'm going to be street driving it. I've already got a race car.

As always, "expensive" is relative. Ferrari wanted $36K to replace the two seats in my Scuderia. I said no.
