My 00 track car (road course) has a Sparco Tec seat. Little wider than some of the others, fits me really well and I feel connected to the car. They get hot on long drives, thats not really what they are meant for.
If it were me, and I was building a car that was DD or mostly on the street car, I would suggest ones that recline versus a true racing seat. The "tuner" seats are far more comfortable overall and offer you the ability to fold forward (how are you going to clean a rear window in a Z/FRC?).
My .25. BTW, I used the factory motorized seat frame on my Tec. I just cut the stock studs off and drilled four holes. Don't have a full range of motion with the factory track but it was a) Free and b) motorized back and forth/tip up and down. Did I mention it was free?

TOOGECKO's new seats are modded C5 Z06 seats also by Caravaggio.
Frank
New Caravaggio's

Option 1. Carbon fibre shell and sides with the belt provision on the top of the
seats and the bottom front. $5,950.00 for the pair
Option 2 Black shells and sides with the belt provisions on the top of the seats and the bottom front
