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.

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.

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
