Default Changing the seats?

I have been following the board for sometime and likely will purchase a z06 this summer. I'm waiting to see what the 03 model has to offer before I buy. Anyway...I love everything about the car, except the seats. I've done searches on changing the seats out for some shells and haven't come across much. Has anyone done it? I know there aren't many out there that fit. I'm actually interested in putting in some cobras. From the supertuner issue of C&D last year, I saw the mallett car did list cobra seats as one of the modifications...so it must be possible. I'd like to fit in a set of these...

Then it'd be perfect. Thanks for any help.

I looked at this myself for a long time.
I hate the seats in my car.

There isn't anything out there.

One of the Sparco's can be made to fit,
but it is a racing shell. Not very comfortable.

If you don't mind spending the money Carvagio Corvette.
Can do something beautiful, but it cost a fortune.

I decided to live with the seats until I can afford to do it up right.

The problem is the track. The only track I have found any information on is one for racing, where you have to remove a bolt to adjust it forward or backward and then rebolt it. Noone seems to make a universal, everyday type of track. Not even with manual adjustment.
