Yeah that's a sweet ride - only thing I'd change would be sport buckets for the Euro GT3 seats. My fat ass won't fit in those things...

 

Having lived with those bucket seats for 3 years, I wouldn't do it again.

They are really difficult to get in and out, and if you are sharing it with your SO who isn't tall, she won't be able to drive it. The bucket seat is designed for a 5'10" and above person.

To be fair, they are great for your back on long trips (LA SFC for example), just a pain to live with if you DD the car.

 

car looks great!

 

I wouldn't want buckets in my semi-DD at all, personally. Total pain to get into. Nice once you're in, but it's funny that by the nature of the car it's not one you will likely drive long distances. Unless you're h20skier with the CGT.

Standard sport seats are more than supportive enough for me and I'd end up driving the car more often with them.

 

amazing car. where can i find details such as price etc.?

thx

 

I agree. Before deciding on my seats, I spent an hour going back and forth between 2 cars at the dealership with bucket and standard seats, and tried really hard to like the bucket seats, but could never get comfortable in them.

 

Um hum, I turned mine in with close to 40K miles on the clock, and did plenty of 400/500 mile drives in one leg.

 

^Truth. But did you LIKE the seats, or just tolerate them? Your first post implied the latter. (BTW- FOOD!!!!)

Green - totally agree. It seems like buckets are mostly forum pleasers. I like how TommySV got the standard 640 seats in his SV. Makes more sense IMO if you're going to drive it much.

Not to go completely OT, but my wife and I did 4000 miles last summer on our trip to Laguna Seca with the current Sport Buckets. I don't mind them for a DD, but I'm sure they wouldn't be easy when I hit my 60s.
