Some fantastic real world world weight loss data there. OEM seats are heavy!
That's some good info -- thanks for sharing. Based on this, it looks like stock OEM sport seats are about 45-50lbs each and GT3 seats are about 30lbs each. I once had a NA 944 with Corbeau seats that weighed 18lbs each... but I likes me my seat-warmers...

There was a thread at Planet-9 awhile ago made by a guy going to extreme measures to reduce weight for autocross. Like, he was taking out the headlights, taillights, pass. seat, all superficial panels just to save a few lbs. I can't find the thread now, though!
