I believe the standard seats are similar to the ZO6 seats as they have no halo at the headrest but they have a larger pleat that is not perforated. I've only seen them in some of the earlier C5s and the '99 & '00 FRCs.

The ZO6 seats have the tighter pattern perforated pleats, a little more bolster and no halo at the headrest. They also have the ZO6 logo embroidered in the headrest, except for the Z16 which had a C5 24 hour logo.

The sport seats have the same perforated tight pleats as the Z with the halo in the headrest. I would think that they have about the same amount of bolster as the Z as well.

My information is all on my assumption, so if anything needs corrected I'm sure someone will step up.

Also - Sport seats have adjustable side bolsters and lumbar, the Z06 and base seats do not.

I converted mine from base to sport seats by the sport seat foam, I don't have the lumbar and bolster adjustments.
