Sport Bucket Seats in Tampa Area?

I am putting together my 2009 Carrera S and since I go to the track a lot I want to order the Sport Bucket seat option.

My dealer tells me these recline and would be the best for weekend driving and the track.

I need to sit in a Sport Bucket seat to see how I fit.

Does anyone in Florida have these seats I can sit in?

Thanks!

You mean dont recline im assuming? Becasue the only slide forward and back. No height adjustment and no recline option. The back will move but only to access the rear. Ive sat in them and have a very similar feel to the old GT3 seats.

P.S. - We unfortunately do not have any : (

Zemdogg, I think he is looking to sit in a set of 2009 GT2 reclining buckets. These are probably options for 09 carrera's.

mdrums, check your local dealer, they may have a 09 GT2 waiting to be delivered!

zona, I think you and Zemdogg are referring to the same seats. They do fold forward for access to the rear seats, but do not recline back.

Trundle, they do have the hole in the shell.

And we don't have any in stock either

I just sat in these seats at Champion's parts department. They definitely do NOT recline. However, they were very comfortable considering. Of course, they were not in a car!

Suncoast...no other dealers seem to know so hopefully you will. Does the Sport Bucket seats option for the Carrera S move forward and back and pump up and down like the stock seats?

They cannot be pumped up or down and will only slide back and forth. Think CGT or 996 GT3 seat with an added airbag and a folding option to access the rear. That's it in a nutshell!
