I bought a set of gt3 seats with the faint hope that I can even use them. My little girl is my favorite passenger and she needs to be able to get in the back!

Can someone snap a picture or two with them pulled all the way up?
I remember someone ask this question before and I measure when the seat at full forward position. There will be about 9" space between back of seat and B-pillar.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work and I use them for track use only- no sweat.

Believe me, I'm no expert driver, my insurance company would say the same.

Interesting thing about child safety- she is the reason I sold my lotus. Lotus NA claimed the front passenger seat to be safe for child seats. I felt that there was nowhere in that car safe enough for a child.

I appreciate the concern and compliment too, that's the reason I dig this forum!
I thought about the gt3 seats for myself and then I asked myself: What happens if somebody else hits me? Would my son be worse off or trapped if i cannot fold down the seat? And perhaps ultimatey you're right; turning the 911 into a dedicated track car/adult use only 911, may be best.

Good luck NOLA.

Soon after I put my seats in, I took the back seats out altogether. It saved another 22 lbs and removed the temptation to put passegers in the back.
