better seats for the Z

i'm looking to get better seats for my Z06, which seat do you recommend and where can i get them?
i think GM should use better seats on such a great car like the Z06 or the ZR1. at least something like those on the Viper, the Dodge Viper seats are much better than those on our vettes.

Caravaggio is a good one. I would also check out Sparco (leather/suede).

And is this for a C6Z (that's this Forum) or a C5Z (per your screen name)? C5Z seats sometimes can be fixed to reduce or eliminate looseness. This is not typically a problem with a C6Z, so I'm not sure what your problem might be. On a C6Z, the usual upgrade path on seats for street use is to Caravaggio, as noted above, but quite expensive.

Those seats look great, but weather or not they're more comfortable will depend on if he fits in them. Unfortunately I do not.

Re: better seats for the Z

the design of thoes seats are actually for a porsche gt3 or gt3rs, i considered them for my gt3.

i never would have thought they would look so good in a corvette.
