New C4S

I went to test drive the 997.2 C2S w/PDK last weekend and was surprised in the changes that went into this mid cycle update. On the exterior, the LEDs and rear reflector strip on the C4S helps to identify the new model. The big change inside is the PCM and Sport bucket seat. The touch screen is nice along with blue tooth and iPod connection, its about time Porsche ! And if that wasn't enough, the new DFI 3.8 and PDK is fantastic. I had a Launch Car that has been broken in already for a Long Test drive and I was amazed with the torque and top end pull of the new motor. The PDK shifts are instant, no lag in manual mode, Auto mode is so smooth you would think its a TIP. This is the 1st mid cycle Porsche update that I've been impressed with enough to pull the trigger.
Picking up this C4S this weekend, Can't wait. The Sports Bucket seats fit like a glove.

How tall are you?

Are you a small/medium/large build?

Any head room problems?

Head room amount?

I'm 6'5"/240 average build and I'm thinking about getting those seats on my next 911 Carrera 2S.

I always have the seat bottom, all the way to the rear.

You're gonna love Meteor and congrats to you!

Looking at the interior shot I just want to push the seatbelt clasp back through the hole in the seat as it looks like it's really putting pressure on the leather.

I'm 5'9" / 170 and the seat feel great. Really snug. Only problem is they are not heated.

Those seats look fantastic (as well as the car). Don't worry about lack of heat. I have almost never used my heated seats on any car.

Ken, I wouldn't use the heated seats much either if I lived in SoCal. I swapped out my GT3 seats for the *** to get the heaters for the winter.
