    Recaros in 11+ GT

    Anyone have the recaros in their new GT? Are they really worth for an extra 1500 dollar option? Are they comfortable or more of a support seat?

    they are definately worth it in my opinion

    they are comfortable and will hold you in the seat

    i have also taken a decent road trip in a friends car with the leather ones and the ride was nice

    Yeah Scott, as PJ said. They are worth it. I would love to have a set in my car but I'm just not ready to spend $2500.00 from Ford for after market ones.

    yea thats what I was thinking. Whether to bite the bullet and add them as a 1500 option now and worst case. I dont like them, trade plus cash for a set of stocks.

    I am not taking the thought of it out of my mind. I have this cobalt and havent had much interest so I been thinking of trading it in. Went to clark at Smail to buy a GTO and right before I got there it got sold, So he showed me a 02 mustang GT with mods and Im not a 2v fan. So we walked by a 2013 GT and started talking and it turned from never gna want that crazy high payment to a very good possibilty to make me look into what I would actually want in it.

    And I hate the 5th gen camaro.

    Im not set in stone of yes im buying one, but I am considering it after I been looking for a street car that I wont race and turn into a track car or put big and littles on and gut and as far as whats out there and me being a cheap ass, the 2013 GT is becoming a very good option. Im going to test drive one today since my frenchie got something caught in his throat this morning and had to run him to the vet and call off work.

    I like mine, never been on a long trip or anything like that but I'm glad I got them. Up to you to decide if it's worth the money or not.
