Default Tall guy with seat question

I've driven an 02 with sport seats and an 03 ZO6 (do they have their own seat or is it a regular or sport or what?). Is the only difference between sport and regular the lumbar and side wing adjust? I just want to make sure I'll fit the same in a non-sport seat car as a sport seat car, if the sport seats go down further or away further or have a thinner bottom cushion or something it could influence how well I fit.

May not be the seat. In the 03 Z06 they have an extra padding going across the B-pillar which is down about an inch or so.

If you look at an 02 Z06 they padding is not there.

Question is how tall are you?

I'm 6'4 and fit comfortably with room to spare in my 02 Z. My brother is 6'6 and he fits fine too.

I'm 6'5 and I sit perfectly in a 02 Z06. If I was a inch taller I'd be screwed though.

The difference between the sport seats and non-sport seats is theres a little opening below the head rest, lumbar control , backseat control , and both seats have power on the sport seats and the Z06 Style seats have non of that because they tried to reduce weight. Hope that helps.
