Selling my RECARO PROFI SPG for a new SPARCO ERGO.... Kind of nervous....
"If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it" - IDK
I LOVE my Recaro but last season during open track there was a Subaru BRZ that flipped SEVERAL times (Driver and passenger had zero injuries
) and a Porsche GT3 that snapped an end link and lost control at high speeds (Never crashed, driver ok)
Got me thinking about safety and I bought some fireproof gear, gonna grab a "Necksgen" (Hans alternative) and I just saw this new Sparco seat thats pretty cool.....

It has a removable DTC head protection system. Easily bolts on and off. Ride without the halo to the track, ride with it on the track
BUT, I think its kind of ugly and I just love Recaro....
Curious what you guys might think about the trade?

I have seen the Sparco and it is an interesting concept. I like the fit and and feeling of the Recaro just a little more.
One of the more comfortable seats I have sat in is the Cobra Evolution but you have much better visibility with their open halo system

I have seen those in the store, and it's a pretty neat concept.
It looks like it has a similar shell to the Evo, which is what I use in my dual-use car. The side bolsters are low enough to get in and out of the car relatively easy.

Traded the Recaro for a stock seat and put the car up for sale. Ended up keeping it (thank God). So, I will be buying an Ergo at some point. Life is so in the way right now.
