Hi Kabel, I agree with everyhting you say. AutoX will make one a better street & Track driver. Learning the quick maneuvering car control is very important. I do want to install the harness belts now but they are very expensive. About $350 a set. But I think I have to bite the bullet and buy them. DE requires that the passenger seat must be setup the same as the drivers seat so that means I have to invest another $700 plus lower my seat with another $350 worth of brackets as mentioned in my OP. And I haven't even bought real driving shoes yet. Then of course I'll want to start upgrading my suspension. Get some AutoX / Track tires...

Btw, the Boxster's dominated in the AutoX. I love 911's but they tend to fish tail a lot. Couple or 180 and 360 spins for the 911's and one engine fire. There were a couple of 911 Turbo's there, and a 2008 GT3, one of only about 101 made. The GT3 guy was in my run group and was an excellent driver as he was very experienced with DE but it was his first AutoX.
