Thanx. Not a bad looking seat, but not what I'm looking for, either. No slots for the shoulder belts. Looks like a recovered Tillet seat.

Without a matching roll bar, I would agree. But center that on a roll bar, and it fits. My car will have two roll bars.
Increasing safety for the little things like this are easy, and should not be (IMO) ignored. I had a car with low back seats, and I'll never do it again. I'v seen passengers bounce their head off the seat during a hard launch; I don't want to see that again. And getting rear ended could be a life altering experience.
My previous car had Club Cobra seats. I found them to be very comfortable, and easy to get in and out of. I'll probably go with them again. The high backs also deflect some of the wind turbulance. And - probably most important - my wife likes to sleep in the car on long trips. She needs to be comfortable.
Comfort should not be ignored. If you have an uncomfortable seating position, it will distract you. And you won't enjoy driving it. Obviously, it's never going to be a Caddy. Moving the seat, pedals, steering wheel, or shifter only an inch can make a huge difference. Motorcycle riders know this. Spend the time making the car comfortable and fit you just right it will really pay off in the long run.
