    what is the difference with the Daytona Carbo seat as opposed to the standard seat? Is it just the seat pattern?

    Do it. It'll be even more of an 'event' every time you get in having to suit up with a harness. It's not like it'll be your commuter car. :)

    Tim you remember the thread about the "racing seats" I started ? This is it !!

    Thanks for the pic TTForcefed. Those seats were diplayed on the presentation car but no news since then.

    Picture with the harness

    Agreed. uncomfortable with such apparently limited adjustment and prefer the other (free!), seats.

    Clearly you got an allocation, correct? If so, what color will you choose for the exterior?

    I don't think you can order OEM harnesses for US destination cars...

    I was going to say that but wasn't 100 percent sure
    I'm not going to do the stripe in the center plate but am going to do bottom of steering wheel and on my luggage and owners manual (hopefully)

    Oh dear: only one yes (no, yes, no and no).

    But have full engine carbon, please tell me that's worth at least a half-yes ;)

    I wonder who's the freakin idiot who makes automotive laws in USA.

    Scuderia seats allowed on all cars except the GTO

    Ugly orange reflectors

    No roll bars (Less safety is good)

    No harnesses.

    Who the hell is that dumbass ?

    Well no thread jacking.

    It's called being a Nanny govt. The govt wants to protect it's people from evil race harnesses, roll bars and side impact collisions because some idiot couldn't see the side of the car before impact. At least in Europe..Darwin's natural selection can thrive unabated.

    Hahahaha.

    Then again, why then aren't Euro F40s more valuable than US F40s now they're 25+ years old?

    I'm getting all of these options less the Daytona CF Racing Seats. I'm 6'3" and need the flexibility to have my seats adjusted and the racing seats don't allow for that unfortunately.
