I'm thinking that after the GT3 at some point ill go down the RS route. So to really feel the change I might go for comfort in the 3 as the RS is going to be an RS. Otherwise id be really changing just for the outside appearance, i doubt id get any better time round a track with an RS compared to a 3 but thats just me.....
If you're going RS later I think that's a really good idea. If you already had a Clubsport car you might fell a little bit 'so what' when you change to the RS - you might even not bother of course, which would save you the odd bean or two! Enjoy the car!

I think being a bloater is the only thing that presents probs. with these seats. They can go so far forward that I can't even get in them - I'm 6'1" - so I'm sure they'll be OK for you. If you ever come near Odiham (N. Hampshire) you're welcome to try mine.



I don't think it's being a bloater that presents a problem so much as having a pair of shoulders. If you're in any way broad at all, these seats aren't really the best.


I think regardless of bulk, they push your shoulders forwards to anchor you in. I find it ok once I've adjusted and they are a god send on track.
Yes, I'd forgotten the shoulder thing - although amongst the people who've tried mine it only seems to bother those under 6', and then not all of them. DanH - I believe these seats are different to those in the 996?


Indeed they are, but I've sat in the 997 ones too and they feel fairly similar to me. I know some bigger people were a bit less happy though. The whole shoulder forwards thing is the main difference though... at least for me.
