Why the SS performance seat is horrible.

Some people got mad at me for saying the SS seats were horrible and provided no support for competitive driving. Well I sat in the car with my girl when she was doing the autox and taped one of her runs then she sat in the car with me driving (almost a full ten seconds faster than her) and she taped it. And you can see most her getting thrown around and as you can kinda hear in the video at the end she almost needed to throw up from getting thrown around. Well here is the video it is shaky cause I wanted to show the effects of the G's going around the turns.

i would love a set of the Cobalt SS/Ion Redline Recaros. there is a Redline that comes in at work every so often, i've driven it numerous times (valet, remember) and those seats feel like they were made specifically for me, i'm apparently the perfect size for them, and they feel wonderful!

I'm surprised the autocross club there allows passengers on timed runs.None of the clubs in the Detroit Council allow it('cuz of the old insurance bugbear).
