Good footage, horrible people and commentary

Great footage. The 830 mark turn sequence. Seem like great people enjoying the car. Are they Dan Rather reporting...…. Maybe not. But some of the commentary made me chuckle. I've done several interviews for car shows and it's not easy. Here are a few.

OH3: Many thanks for the clips. The first one had audio issues but the second one about the three 'Vettes was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

New video from our friend Evan.

Tell me if Iam wrong but Iam looking at the video and in particular the driver. Now what I see is a guy that actually looks kinda uncomfortable in those Recaro's. Here's why I think that. Look at how is outer edges of his body and shoulders do not actually fit into the seats but are outside of the frame of the seat. I could be wrong and he certainly is not going to admit it but he truly looks like that seat would not be comfortable. Would love some feedback. I do not have on order the Recaro's but it wasn't the price that kept me from ordering them. Just the pure thought that they might be very uncomfortable.

Chuck: I think a reasonable analogy would be mud boots. They'll fit quite a few folks but not everyone. For sure comfort in Recaros is all about your build.

I love them in my '14 but I'm only 5'8"/150#.

Chuck, most of the report I have heard is if you are of a larger stature, the fit is uncomfortable. From the medium to smaller guys (me), they are pretty comfortable, except maybe for long drives, then there is some ass hurting reports. I am a big fan of the standard premium seats, and I originally went with them, but the look of the Recaro in this car (especially cars with white stripes) made me go for them this time. That, and I am a massive 5'5" so I will fit fine. I went and sat in a 2019 GT350 with Recaro to be sure I liked them, and I did very much.

That's good info to know as I'm 5'7" and I've been wondering whether they would be comfortable!

I'm a svelte 6'0, 215lb hunk of man and find I fit the Recaros from the S197 GT500 and the S550 GT350 perfectly. That said, I did make a few 14hr drives in the GT350 and upon arrival I felt as if I had been in a torture chamber for months. The Recaros are great for aggressive/track use or around town but are on the opposite end of the barcalounger spectrum when considered for lengthy travel use. You will be punished after 6 continuous hours in them.

They are canyon carving like grandmas. I’m
Typically waking everyone up in the N GA mountains when I’m coming through being chased by M3s and Evos. That’s a Sunday drive to church...
