Thoughts? I should probably get one before they go to court.

Re age of the suit. 3.2A/1, 3.2A/3 and 3.2A/5 suits are good as long as you keep them clean. 3.2A/10 and higher needs to be re-certified every 5 years.
On that HNR, keep in mind SFI 38.1 requires 5 year recert now. That's the main reason I went with HANS over the others.

If this is true, now my only concern is that this suit is too stylish:
Seriously, this changes the game. What is the lightest, most brethable silver suit I can buy under $1k?

That document covers 3.2A* so if there is no requirement in there for 1,3,5 then there is no requirement for it. Not sure about club requirements, I only know chumpcar which just needs the suit to remain clean. I'd imagine they stole that from the GCR or CCR.
e:
NASA:

I would recommend a 2011 A* GP-Tech suit:

That's the suit I have and I'm very pleased with it, minus the fact that it's not custom tailored to me. I have a red one, they offer a silver but it's a very light shade of silver.

Any thoughts on this "package"?
I'm still toying with the idea of a 986 shirt. I will get 2 pair of socks. Does anyone know if that bag will fit in a Miata passenger seat? Oh the compromised life of owning Miatas.

How do those cool-shirts size out? I am extremely pumped...5'11", 199.5lb and not really fat. I think I'm getting a 52 suit but will still need help getting out of the shoulders.

Don't you ------- dare spend $200 ------- dollars on a ------- duffel bag. You're wearing the damn suit all weekend, and the rest of the time it's hung up in your closet. Buy a $5 Rubbermaid or Wal-Mart bag for ------- christs ------- sake.
