Quick Seat Question

I was browsing through and found this seat and wanted to know which car or aftermarket dealer it comes from.

Thanks in advance

Much appreciated. I really like the look of those. Anyone know how comfortable they are or are they more of a track style seat? (Obviously they are lighter and harder) But can one drive a few hours in these without having to call a doctor to get you out?

haha
Thanks

Haha... yes, you picked the cream of the crop. They are carbon fiber OE GT2 seats as stated above. If you don't do any serious track-time and are looking for a lower cost alternative with the same style check out Maxspeed-Motorsports. Nello is a great guy and will give it to ya straight- http://www.maxspeed-motorsports.com/997gt3seats.html

I usually have a problem with liking the most expensive things be default... Those seats look pretty alright, I may have a lead on some other GT3 seats that have yellow matching stitching. I was thinking of doing a little bit of track time but I really just want to be able to do the roll cage w/belts.

I have these seats in my '09 c4s. I love the support but was abit worried about traveling. I can tell you that they are really comfortable, so long as the rider is of medium built and under 200 lbs. I run four hours at a time (four trips a month) on variable road surfaces without an issue; little or no fatigue.

Much appreciated... Problem is I was not really looking to spend 6k+ on seats. Was thinking more like 6k for the whole setup. +1 for some awesome looking seats!
