    What seats for your new GT3?

    Just interested to see if everyone is going for the lightweight seats or having standard sport seats ?

    If it's an every day car them I can see why it might be an issue. Nevertheless, standard for me.

    Re: What seats for your new GT3?

    hmmmm......... i was going to go for the lightweight seats but only because i wanted the CS. Now ive heard that if you spec CS then u dont get the leather version lightweight seats its put me off from having them.
    Do you think not having the lightweight seats will effect the resale value of the vehicle ?

    GT Chipper, IMHO, the CS package would add more value to the GT3 down the line. It's really a personal choice. If you think that you'll be happier with the leather, then that's what you should order.

    Re: What seats for your new GT3?

    Fair point, but I have a different POV. You could always install a roll cage and a fire extinguisher later and keep the leather / alcantara finish. According to my dealer a key reason why the CS package is free is that Nomex is significantly cheaper than leather / alcantara, so for Porsche it's a wash.
