I can't help to wonder if the Carrera GT seats will work in my turbo.

I think those seats will be obscenely expensive. They are made out of real carbon fiber, and I think each seat weighs 30 some odd pounds. Regardless, those seats would look killer in your Turbo.

Regarding weights, the stock sport seats weigh 48 pounds each. The GT3 seats weigh 28 pounds each. Yes, I weighed them.

Hey Ken, really? I was under the impression the stock ones with the lumbar and heat were closer to 75 pounds each and that the GT3s were like 18pounds. Hmm certainly heavier than I thought then.

cjv, Interesting thought, knowing Porsche these days the CGT seats will also work in a Cayenne and Boxster.

Sharkster,
I weighed sport seats which are missing the fore/aft motor and they don't have the lumbar adjustment. They definitely weighed 48 pounds. I can't imagine those extra parts (fore aft motor and lumbar) would add another 27 pounds to bring the total up to 75 pounds.

The C-GT seats weigh 22.7 pounds each. The are about seven pounds each lighter than the GT3 seat. That is a savings of over fifteen pounds.

I like the idea of "Dieting" to get the aggregate weight of the GT3 seats with driver after diet, equal to the CGT seats with driver prior to diet...
