Exactly what I thought when I saw it today on Mecum's Auction site.

Great article Mark! Thanks for posting.. I love reading this kind of stuff for sure! Looks like you guys had a great weekend.. My wife and I just got back into town... Hope to see everyone at Cars and Coffee... I've had my car back for a week and really am enjoying the new transmission Clutch/ lightweight flywheel.. I've been a good little boy, breaking it in properly.. 270 miles to go!

That was Jason! The guy who wrecked into the curb at the end of Cars and Coffee, who took the picture... Thank God that cop was cool! I think he gave me a break because of my Commercial Drivers License,. Thats how I make my living... He could have revoked it, if he wanted to push it.. That would have sucked! I had the hammer down and was close to the top of 4th gear ,when I saw his lights come on. I'm very very thankful he let me off with a stern warning...

Your right David.... that was "Jump the Curb Jason" that took that pic.

You will have to go slower to CnC this time..

I'm thinking of some new wheels... what do you think ?
Maybe a different color that would match my car better though.

Good looking seats !

I thought I heard that the c7 seats are wider than the C5/C6 ones and will not fit ?

The new C7 sport seats would be the ones to have if they fit in a C5/C6.
They offer much more side bolstering from what I have seen in pics.

I think the question is still out there. I believe i read about somebody getting them into a C6 but not too sure. If they fit in a C6 then i'm guessing they would fit in a C5 as well huh?

The ones in that link are priced very high though, i'm sure in a few years they will be available at a much realistic price.

I love the C7 competition seats as well!
