Bucket seats are more comfortable in drifting and high speed cornering and togue high speed with constant weight and direction shift. The reason is in high speed cornering and drifting you have to use your muscles to maintain your body position. This makes your body and muscles very achy and tired after just 20 mins of high speed cornering drift attack. Semi bucket seats with cushioning are more comfortable for high speed medium angle corners. They are also more comfortable for grand touring to Penang or Singapore long journeys. So if you find bucket seats uncomfortable it means you don't drive the car the way the owner does. Another clue is the tires and wing chosen. In low speed ( drift for fun) drifting, you want low grip tires and no wing. This allows the tail to slide. This car has high grip semi slick and wings. This is for serious track drifting ( high speed drifting) which stabilizes the car during the long corners of drifting high speed corners. Without high grip tires or wing the car will eventually lose stability and control in the long drift of the corner. Personally I like GT setup with occasional togue. So I go for semi bucket. But the fact that the owner has this exact setup means it's a highly tuned machine. Its so tuned for high speed drift it is probably not fun at all for daily driving on highways. That is why you are conflicted. It doesn't mean you don't see it, it means you know what type of driving you prefer. For me I lean more towards togue and GT. So I would be faster in a stock GT86 up genting or Ulu Yam. The GT86 was modified more and more for togue along the years. In the early years it was setup more for circuit and race track, every year the manufacturer tuned it more towards togue winding hill roads. The mods on this car will slow me down for togue attack. Also the fact that the turbo does not provide boost along the entire power band means it's not the right turbo for me. I also prefer paddle shifters. I think manual is fun but I'm stuck in traffic a lot too so it's good to have the automatic to rest. It appears GTR or Porsche will be the best fit for you out of the box. Of course any car can be tuned more towards GT or togue or drift attack. Cheers Aderen your videos the best I learn a lot. This video is weird because usually I'm the one that learn a lot from you. I think you are natural GT driver!
for manual shift cars your left hand has to keep moving between the gear knob and the steering wheel... both hands should always be on the steering wheel and you only move your hand for a second to change the gear, don't rest your hand on the gear knob
