New C6
Just got back from the cleveland auto show at the IX Center. Sat in a new C6. The seats were not comfortable at all. The battery cables were off so there was no adjusting the seats. I would not trade my 94 coupe for a C6! Just one old guys opinion.

That's kinda like trying to buy a suit in a men's clothing store, but telling the clerk he didn't have anything that would fit you just because you didn't unbutton the coat before you tried to put it on.

Come on man...you are killing me. Did you happen to notice any other differences in the two cars or was that it??

Sorry that the C6 did not grab you (no pun intended).
There is a substantial difference between the C4 & C 6 seats, but these were not apparent to you as the battery was disconnected.
Keep in mind that one of the nice things, post C4's, is that it is no longer necessary to step up, then down, before you sit on the seat.
Anyway, congratulations on your C4. They are still a Corvette, and for that they deserve our appreation.

I never liked the C4 seats - I'm a big guy - 6'1" and 290 ... I love the C5 and C6 ... my new C6 fits me like a glove and I like the seats better than our Lexus ...
Can't judge seating unless you can adjust the seats ...
