Modern seats in 4th Gen
Has anyone put the new Camaro seats or Corvette seats in a 4th Gen car? Im looking for a comfortable long term seat since my current racing seats arent really built for hours of driving.

GTO seats have been done a few times and the red might look good on your car.

The GTO seats are quite comfortable. Another popular seat swap I've been seeing in these cars lately is S2000 seats...

For a lot of the GM seats the bolt pattern on the bottom of the actual chair is the same. If you can find someone with a seat that will let you measure you may just be able to bolt the new seat to your base frame and go with little to no massaging needed.

the electric backrest works since that motor is in the seat itself, the forward/back/seat tilt controls for the seat itself are on the GTO rails which are not used due to the lack of space.
