UltraForce GS-1 G-Seat

Another thing I wanted to mention, there should be a version available
that is much lower. At this price and state of the art, the real
customers are the die-hard racing sim fans. They probably already have
a cockpit/race frame setup and would be looking for a low seat, not one
that just mates up to the standard height computer desk (with a seating
position like driving a truck or a van . It looks like it would be
easy to adapt this seat to a race frame mount, but I am not sure and for
the price (here we go again) it would be nice not to have to make
modifications.

Not sure where you are getting your information. A FD 301 costs at
least $20K as far as I know. I've seen prices mentioned as high as
$30,000. They don't put the price on their web site.

Plus, it's like the comedian Steven Wright says about "You can't have
everything - where would you put it?" Here's quote from their web
site:

"Q: How hard is it to move?...
A: It's easiest to move the 301 with a fork lift..."

I'm not running the 301 down or anything. It's awesome! I want one.
If I sell a couple thousand GS-1's maybe I'll get one But, the
GS-1 is in a totally separate category when it comes to price.

Great idea!

Actually, the lower portion of the chair can be removed, or you could
buy just the seat without the base. I will offer a version of the
chair with mounting rails on the bottom. It will be a drop-in
replacement for a regular racing seat - Sparco, etc.

In fact, I'm shipping a seat to Europe this week that has no base. It
will be installed in a mock-up of an airline cockpit for flight
simulation. So it can definitely be added to an existing race cockpit.

Thanks,

That's very good to know. Thanks for the information.

Maybe I came across wrong,what I'm saying is at $3000,if your hoping to
get a diehard simracer to buy it,it should look like more than a massage
pad on a lawn chair.It may be as awesome as you say,but,it doesn't look
like the technology justifies the cost.Judging solely on the picture and
discription of the "pads" I'd be hardpressed to shell out $50 for it.And
thats from a fellow Hoosier.

Oh Yea the 301 starts at $10000

Really? Where did you find that price?

BTW, I'm with you on the appearance issue. The seat will be available
as part of an integrated cockpit. Work on that project is progressing.
Expect some really cool new products.

Also, since you are in Indiana, if you ever find your was to Kokomo
give me a call and you can try the seat for yourself
