[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 16673069, member: 7047"] Very nice, I can't even imagine how amazing that was! Car-guy trip of a lifetime! Regarding the seats... The Recaros that were in the 13-14 GT500s (earlier Bosses also) are Recaro Sport seats, while the Recaros that are in the 2020+ GT500s are Recaro Performance seats. The Sport seats are also optional on GTs and Mach 1s even today. Ford Performance sells a leather pair which is available for about 3K but no Cobra stitch design. All the Recaros look much sexier than the base seats. And if you're gonna have them then better have the Cobra stitching or it just wouldn't look right in a Shelby. So that means trying to find new OEM seat covers for a 13-14 GT500 and having them installed on the new seats. Could probably try and find some 13-14 seats in great condition that are part outs and see if the brackets are different from the newer cars. So to cap off my very early morning insomnia with a completely superfluous mental exercise...either get the standard Recaros and deal with them being not quite as roomy or stay with the base seats and take the weight penalty. Finding the Sport seats and getting covers with the Cobra logos is too expensive and too much work to be worthwhile for the weight and comfort benefit. [/QUOTE]
