Recaro to make first seat specific to C5, C6 & C7 corvetts
I am still looking for seats for my C5 and stumbled across this. Perhaps its already been posted elsewhere but I had not seen this.

Apparently the announcement is already on this forum:

Not a bad looking seat. Curious what they will be selling for when they are released.

This is the greatest news since the start of C5 production.

Vivid racing and Stable Energies (Recaro Master distributor) are taking pre-orders now.
When I first saw this I thought these were a "must-have".
At $3400 plus shipping, OUCH!
I'm not sure I want to cough that up for seats. I was hoping they would be around $1K each in fabric and i would have given my deposit today.
According to Stable Energies, all seats will have leather with various color options for center inserts.

Good if you can still find them.
I paid 1200.00 shipped for the Evo9s and used the OEM power tracks with some simple adapter brackets.

I like them but the price is a little steep, comes with the territory I guess... I have a set of evo x recaros that I am going to try to install hopefully in the near future and they were less than half of what these cost

Corvette tax I guess ? When I first saw the thread, I was thinking a $1000 a seat would be worth it. My driver's seat foam has rapidly degraded in the last few years, it really needs a refurb. A Recaro would be nice, but 1400 plus 300 for the bracket is a little steep for me to justify. Especially 300 for the bracket. Ouch. Guess when the time comes, I'll just order new foam and take it to an upholstery shop.
