I knew you were going to say that. ;)

Pretty neat chair, but $200 is a little steep IMO.

On second thought, I don't know if, being a guy, the ass is the place you really want your porn feedback.

....really?...I thought that seemed a pretty good price.....but knowing Spencer gifts....this thing will be 50% off in a month.

I think it looks like an ideal seat for a gaming driving cab.

For $200 you could put a pair of transducers into a wooden seat and rattle your spine until you throw up.

With proper feedback, it would either go up to 10 minutes or down to 2.  Not sure which.

Actually, if I had the space for a sitdown cab, I'd pick this up in a second....even at $200.  Building a seat out of wood would pretty much limit you to six minutes at a time before you felt like going to the ER to have your ass amputated.  And other seats that would be appropriate are priced just as high.  It's just damn hard to find something that will look like it belongs, and be comfortable, in a driving cab.  This looks like it would fit the bill perfectly.


edit:  Keep in mind, that there are some places where it's a good idea to sacrifice authenticity.  For example, I've never understood people who build an amazing home theater and then put actual movie theater seating in it.  Those seats are made to accommodate hundreds or thousands of perfect strangers who won't think twice about grinding gum or popcorn into the seat or pouring soda all over it.  Same with driving cabs.  Sure, they have hard plastic seats in the arcade, but not because that's a pleasant surface for a person to sit on.  They do that because it's mainly going to be used by bratty kids.

I have two Cobra racing seats I'm not using. Anyone wants them for a project I'm open to offers. Pics can be provided upon request. They're blue and in very nice condition.

So, that seat doesn't look all that comfortable either.  Take the leather seat from an old Lincoln and drop a transducer in it.

But see, then it would look retarded in a cab.  That thing looks like it was made specifically for a cab and it looks reasonably comfortable.

Dude, I don't get that.  Dropping a real car's leather bucket seat into a driving cab would look retarded?

That's what I was thinking.  When you say "old Lincoln" I imagine an enormous bench seat.  Even still, though, I think most seats pulled from a car would be enormous mounted inside a videogame cab.  I could be wrong.  Maybe I'm exaggerating their size in my head.

A lot of Lincolns have come with bucket seats.  There is a theater pub I used to go to here that uses old leather Lincoln Continental seats for their seating.

Here is an example.
