Are the Recaro seats that same seats that are on the 2014 ZL1? Or are the Z/28 seats different from those Recaros?

Recaro's will be awesome, along with the rear diff. Both are going to be really pricey though..

The Recaro's are different. Manual adjustment, no motor for less weight!

This really interest me. Any Idea when these will be available.

Me too. Hope it's available for sale uninstalled by dealer.

I'm curious to see how much they are going to sell the 'Tri Y' exhaust manifolds for. I can't see that being a hot item. I'm sure I could go Kooks for as much or less with superior performance.

As a 1LE owner, I'd like to have the • Camaro Z/28 Helical Differential, and the manual Recaro seats.

Everything else I'll count on the aftermarket thank you very much.

The aftermarket does a good job of supplying alternatives to OEM parts....Now the same R&D and testing is not applied in the aftermarket, but if the price point for OEM surpasses that of quality aftermarket pieces most consumers will look to the aftermarket.

My predictions: (no basis, just guesses)

Intake: $500 (Too many proven alternatives to set the price any higher)
Z/28 Suspension Package: $3500 (Good coil overs can be had at this price)
Recaro Z/28 seats: $1799 each (No competition for a seat with airbags, but race minded individuals can get a good Recaro race seat installed for less)
Z/28 Manifolds: $750 (again, too much competition out there to price them any higher and expect them to sell.)

Matt
If the suspension is $3500 thats not that bad. However, how will it work with with our heavy corners and tires?!?!? Hmmmmmm.... I wish we could see some laptimes or data showing how they perform on our cars.

I have to have that diff and cooler...... what an awesome time to tell my wife that my diff blew up!!!
