I like the non powered seats, kind of pure in a way. Again they seem kind of out of place on a high end German car.

What's the price difference? I regret not ordering the sport adaptive seats, but now with the GT2 seats, I may upgrade in that direction.

I love my leather sport seats without powered.
I feel like the seat is hugging me.
Go try it out, no one can tell you which seat is better except yourself.

Does anyone have info to confirm the weight difference between the leather sports seats and the regular power seats? I thought I read it was many dozens of pounds but I was just reading the 2008 911 order book and it suggests that the new folding bucket seats have a 15 lb. advantage over the leather sport seats and a 19 lb. advantage over the adaptive sport seats, suggesting there is only a 4 lb. Advantage between the non powered leather sports seats and the adaptive and fully powered sports seats.

That doesn't seem like much at all for those choosing the non powered to save weight. Furthermore one would imagine that the regular power seats are no heavier than the adaptive seats, I'm left wondering what performance and weight advantage remains for the non powered sports seats?

I'm light enough where I can race a heavy guy with no seats. Just kidding .

In all seriousness -I can't comfirm an actual weight difference but it really would appear to be very slight betwen the "sport seats" and "sports adaptive" .
