the car # on the truck with mike's car (custom color car also) is # 555, I saw it yesterday.
I believe it was the 170th 2005 car built. serial # ended with 1170.

Over Standard Bucket Seat", which is almost a whole inch. This contrasts with something Roland Kussmaul "guesstimated" while I was in Geneva when he made hand gesture with his thumb and fore finger that seemed to indicate about half an inch.
Anyway, the XTs fit my butt and rib cage just fine. I'm 6'4" with a 34 to 35" waist (pre- or post-holiday feasts) and a 44L jacket size.
I've yet to play with the included thicker seat-front, under-thigh bolsters. It might help, or hinder, my leg position for comfortable pedal operation. That's next up on the experiment agenda

Mike,
Do you mind me asking which dealer you picked it up from? Please don't say Northland. My office is just a couple of miles from there and I would hate to think that I missed out on seeing your car only being that far away.
Congrats!

They never did, but one stop at Beechmont and it was instant information!
I've done business with Bruce Harnish there ever since. He's absolutely the best. A real straight shooter with no B.S.. David Profit, the service manager, is beyond reproach as well. And, I don't give out praise lightly. These guys are the real deal.

Mike, Looking under your signature, Id say very nice choice of color on the GT. Finally something different from the silvers.
I wasn't gonna have a P car for a while after I sold my 993 but this speed yellow showed up in the local dealership...there was no stopping me. By the way, V1 is hardwired

This weekend had some good temperature and sunshine, but there were still blowing-and-drifitng ice-melt salt dunes left over from the last snow storm. Maybe this week's predicted rain will wash that all away and then dry out
