G85=Seats +LSD (Limited Slip Differential) LSD is better for accelerating through turns...

yea the seats really hold you in there... and a DC sports strutbar will help in not being thrown out of your seat as much. It reduces alot of body roll IMO.

Well from experience as I've owned two ss/sc's. One w/ yellow inserts on a yellow ss, and currently a red ss/sc w/ the g85. The recaro's are AMAZINGLY awesome. I took long trips with each and the recaro's are more comfortable. Keep in mind that I am 5'11'' and only 154 lbs.

Do you get a Recaro back seat as well? Or is it the regular leather seat?

Regular leathers in the back. The Recaros kinda look like |\____/| that would be an eye level front view. The sides go up pretty steep and hold your booty in that seat quite nicely! Sad that leaves little room for air, so even with the a/c blasting icy air out, when you get out in a crowded parking lot, people look at you and think to them selves "Wow that car's gotta be a BLAST, so much of a blast that guy pissed himself!" I think its worth it though

Hah, it is funny to get out of the car and see your sweatprint on the seat. "At least the ride was fun," I keep telling myself.

I experienced the benefit of having the LSD and the Recaros today on the drive home. Completely worth the $1500, I say.

From the pics I've seen from guys with the regular leather seats, after being used for a while, it appears the quality sucks (they wrinkle really bad.) I'll be getting a my car with the G85 for sure. I'm just disappointed about the back seat now.
