I didn't realise you could actually remove the rear seat cushions in the TT so easily. They are only in there with a bit of velcro.

By taking them out I effectively have a 996 GT3

Must say though, there is not much to them. And for a £90k car new, to have a moulded bit of plastic with velcro stuck to the bottom of it, so that the leather can be velcroed to it seems a bit cheap.

Now it get it if you put rear seats in a GT3 it suddenly develops twin turbos piles on a load of weight softens up nicely

Disagree. You have the weight advantage of a GT3 with the 4WD of a Turbo. In many ways it is better <runs for cover...>

Does removing the seats have the same effect as laying them flat?

For the optimum weight saving and bhp increase, the seat cushion needs to be removed and the seat back laid flat laugh
