ok but you dont need it for drag racing, waste of money IMO, you could spend that much more on making it faster. I will be, as well as many other guys already race with bench seats.

This is the Recaro SPG style. It is a very popular style for many companies to replicate. I carry seats in this style as well. They are not "knock-offs", because they are too high quality, but are very well priced. Even the Carbon Kevlar option is fairly inexpensive compared to many other manufacturers.

any company that sells products similar to another already on the market is considered a knockoff it doesnt matter how well its made. Especially if that company is selling that seat for way less then what the original manufacturer is selling it for. This just means they are giving the option of owning those style seats for less hence knockoff.

^ agreed.

Status is a knockoff, but with a FIA approval. So quality is insured, but not the first that came out with the design.

For FIA approved bucket seats that are tested and true, I would look at Recaro, OMP, Sparco and Racetech.
