1 - Yes I have sat in subject seats.  
2 - Subject to debate - Joe's gentleman-ness   YMMV
3 - Hard to judge, as I've only been pressed into these seats, firmly secured 
by the five point harness, as Joe chased (in a gentlemanly manner?) all 
manner of BMW, P-cars, and the odd supercharged Miata around Portland 
International Raceway.  No way I would have been listening to the speakers in 
that situation, I was too busy watching him heel-and-toe and driving blithely 
around his "home" track.  The helmet may have affected sound quality also.   
8^)

If I ever get another Spider, however, you can be assured that I will 
consider the installation of the Miata seats - they are way more comfortable 
than the stock ones I've been in.
