Grip so you don't slide around when you're taking corners at 110+.

Yup, insert a 1/2 dowel in the hole of your choice & sit down.

My wild guess would be, style.

They have the silver/black thing going, so they continued it on the seats as well.

That was my thought. Cooling so your nuts don't spontaneously combust.

Racing cars are hot. The seats were designed to help the drivers deal with being in a 24 hour race.

to blow smoke up your butt so when you sit in one at the show room, you'd actually consider dropping 150k on a ford :p

in a serious note, i wonder how comfortable it would be to sit on 9 silver rings.. those seats dun look like herman millers..

it goes into the engine. fat gassy guys have more weight to pull, so the farts combustion evens out the playing field. very thoughtful of ford.
