...Giggles...sketchy is life.

The rest of my life is plenty sketchy! Traction control can be turned off, as I usually do in my car but its nice to have the option to leave it on when the weather is bad

I think that was the fad about a decade ago when ricers were putting them in Civic hatchbacks. Not sure that's still going on frequently. I never got around to getting the seat locks and never had an issue.

You could very well be right but while I cant remember what the replacement costs were exactly, i remember them being expensive (somewhere north of 3 grand)... the locks are worth it for me... i realize that aftermarket seats might be way cheaper and you don't have to worry about seat based airbags like I have to do in my car... but to me aftermarket seats hurt resale because most people are looking for stock or lightly modded cars and aftermarket seats might raise a red flag and hurt the resale value... better safe than sorry I think

NA=no traction control. LS3=445whp I say again...sketchy is life.

^Good stuff, thanks for the info.

I will say this... as much as I love the s2k, I feel like my car is more fun around town... because torque... I'm basically the king of buyers remorse and I don't have any regrets with this purchase... traffic on 75 was terrible today so I took greenville almost all the way home... so much fun to filter through the traffic... always power available when I need to shoot for a small gap or pass... on paper the same 0-60 as a brz/frs but so much faster around town... this video is what made me decide to test drive one even though I didn't want to own a stupid fiesta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbcj-zE7gBw

the point he makes about acceleration within a gear is very valid

Went to my local Carmax today...checked out the Civic Si, Infiniti G37S & Focus ST.

Focus ST was the winner. Was the most comfortable and had the most headroom. Did not have the Recaros, which is a plus.

I don't think I could fit in the Civic or G37S with a helmet on.

Told you the FoST as the best of the Bunch.... but you are missing out without the Recaros... they do mold to you.

Well did you buy it?

of course not. That requires actual spending of money.
