Right... where is he/she? Used very active person in the forums. Had quite the noise, also one very magical individual who completely trashed mkv and suddenly went fanatic. Kind of miss him/her.
He got into a big argument with AHP or something. The admins stepped in and told them to stop arguing or else they would be banned, and PS left lol.

I wonder what happened to that guy..

:coffee:


My assessment: He was not capable of separating his wild opinions and emotions from facts, and when called out on his BS he had a tantrum or five. Mods intervened, threads/posts were deleted. He then posted a forum auto-obituary here and now he's back over on Supraforums commenting in the MKV section.

I've seen PerformanceSound on Supraforums recently. And he's been on Clublexus before with a vehicle build thread. He's around. I'm not sure why he hasn't been here recently though :dunno:

I just hope this car has seats that’ll rival the carbon seats that come in the Porsche GT cars.
I HATE those seats. I specifically didn’t get them, and all the GT3’s and other GT4’s I’ve been in with those seats were slightly miserable.

They are wonderful if you are on track or really pushing the car, but they are a pain everywhere else. They are very difficult to actually get into and out of the car. I am fairly fit and of average height, and even I struggle. I essentially perform a tricep dip just to get in and out.

Also, the seat angle is too far towards the front which always makes the positioning of your legs off for both hard driving and cruising.

My biggest gripe is the lack of adjustability. I totally understand it is a racing bucket, but there is no adjustment in the seat at all other than sliding back and forth. I just don’t see the point in a car that will be driven on the street for any significant amount of time.

Very true, haha

I’m 6’2 and it’s a work out, lol. I’ve driven my car straight for 2 to 3 wks time, but definitely not a daily driver. When I get back in the Mercedes GLE, i am so grateful of the ride quality.

Yea you’re not the only I heard say that about the seats but idk they work for me, I couldn’t imagine having a GT car without them. Not saying I would love siting in them for 5 hours but I can live with them

Lots of indicators the 382HP motor is coming (and this was known months ago), but no names/details yet.
