+1, I'm in no way a poser. I love the seats but only if they retain the seat warmers and power options. Also the other thing about them-they have suede inserts on the Z/28 ones, which wouldn't match my rear seats. Any chance on the SS ones being regular leather?

The purpose of sport seats is weight reduction, not luxury, comfort, or convenience. The Z/28 is a track vehicle with optional AC. I have trouble believing the seats in the Z/28 would be available with power, which would significantly increase the weight.

Besides, how many other drivers are in your car? Manually set the seat and leave it. I can't remember the last time I adjusted my seat.

I'm merely stating that, the SS is ALSO available with Recaros. Those may be a direct fit for our cars versus the Z/28 which not only has the wrong name on it, but may possibly not mount the same way.

I don't give a rats ass if it's auto or not, just pointing out that we have 2 options as to which seats may work for our intended purposes.

The problem for me (and others i'm sure) with manual seats is that they often don't adjust upwards which may hinder visibility for some of us.

Who knows until they actual come out and somebody buys them.

mylink is available but not in the Z/28. It only has one speaker in it for the warning chimes and they are trying to save weight. If you look at the SS pics, it has mylink in it.

There's no reason not offer these seats with full options on the SS, it's already heavy. The Z/28 is supposed to be a lightweight so the stripped seats make sense.

Ive seen a few post about the Z28 being lightweight. Let's not forget that it was mentioned @ the reveal that it's about 300lbs lighter than the ZL1.....which is 2-300lbs heaver than the 1LE....

...So at best, the Z28 isn't much lighter than the SS and/or 1LE. The less weight and that HUGE NA powerplant def makes a difference though. Some people seem to think the car weighs the same as a Geo Metro.
