I was looking at a new Mustang GT at the track too. He had a track package in it that came with Ricaro seats. Now why doesn't GM offer something like that in the 1LE package. Our stock seats aren't good for hard cornering.

On your last statement. When I was at the Camaro fest a couple weeks ago I was talking to a couple of GM engineers About things that would be cool for our cars. One of them started talking about the cts and how even with the V6 you can basically get a track pack with recaro seats as an option. I looked him square in the eye and said you mean to tell me you can get recaro seats in aV6 luxo sedan, but you've built 2 track ready Camaros and can't get recaros in those, WTF. He looked at me like I had 2 heads or it had never occurred to him. The other guy had a weird smirk
