Recaro Pole Postion vs GT3 seat comparison
I'm changing out my Pole Positions for GT3's and while I have both, thought a side by side comparison was in order. The GT3 has 996 side mount brackets while the Pole has Speedware side mounts and Recaro sliders. Both seats weigh about the same - GT3 at 19 lbs, Pole at 18. With brackets and sliders, they are both 29 lbs. These weights were taken on a bathroom scale so accuracy is +/-. I took width measurements at the side seat belt ports and at the forward bracket mount point. Both models are exactly the same dimensions. There are slight differences in the seat pan and the back contours. One significant find with the 1" difference in the spread of the side bracket mount holes. This is shown in the pictures.

Those GT3 seats break a long history of great looking Porsche race/sport seats. I'm sure they do the job great, and are functional, but damn, those big-headed things are not handsome.
