Beginning the task of specing out the Special Vehicle design with my dealership GM to build something resembling an SVR with a manual transmission. I am now contemplating the seat and am wondering if anyone has substantial "seat time" in the 400 Sport seats.


How comfortable, what adjustments, etc.?

 

Oooooh now you've got my attention!

 

Considering how much time, effort and money you have already put in to modifying your current F-Type maybe you can start up your own F-Type performance and design business and name it "Special Vehicles R Us"?

 

I have only sat in the 400 seat for about ten minutes so I'm not going to have many insights but it's definitely a much lighter seat and has less padding but for the brief time I was in it, I was comfortable and I didn't detect anything that over time would change. But that was at a standstill. Noticed also that their was more room in the cockpit as the seat being smaller and they seem to have found a couple of additional travel inches. I do plan to test one in the next few weeks as my dealer has one in and also has the 4 cylinder version which I am just curious about.

 

Keep me posted. My interest in that particular seat stems from the lighter weight, but I want to make certain the comfort and lateral support is not compromised too much.

 

I agree that it felt comfortable but I sat in the same show room car that Marko did. No driving time.

 

Test drove the car with one, it digs into my upper back. However, I am 6'3" 220lb.

 

The new performance seats (same car at Scarborough) are a huge step up over the existing seats. After just a few minutes of sitting in them on the showroom floor they seemed more comfortable and they seemed equally as supportive. The new seats don’t offer the adjustable bolsters, but I don’t think they need it.

Theyre lighter and look look much better in my opinion.
