Default Convert seats recline?

Do the seats recline? If they do, your head must be under the tonneau cover?

not to say you're crazy, b ut no, they don't beyond a set point. and the point is not very far. this is the case also w. the c6. so it's nothing new.

Coupe or vert, exactly the same. Same amount of room in either.

Wifey won't like that.

Yeah, this is a sore point with my GF as well. She wants to lean back and sleep on long road trips. Always complains that the seats don't recline for napping.

Instead of a split seat fold down to allow more cargo space, the Corvette needs a split cargo fold up to allow more seat space!

Oh well... We all make compromises.

Slide the seat forward as far as possible. Then it will recline quite far.

Reclining while driving is not recommended. In a crash you will slide under the seat belts and could be injured.

What! I thought everyone reclined and steered with their feet.
