Default Big Guy Needs Help

Just wondering if the seats in the C6 is different on the LT1 package as opposed ot the LT2 or LT3 or Z51 packages? I am looking for a pre-owned 06 or 07 vette but I am 6'4" and 270lbs, so most cars that have seats that are "race inspired" or have the extra bolsters on the sides, like the M3, SRT8 etc, are a bit uncomfortable, so I was just wondering from the experts if I when I test drive all the seats will be the same or should I look for only LT1's which wont have the bolsters?

thanks

1LT seats will be different than the 2LT seats. But all 2LT & 3LT seats will be the same, regardless of whether it's got the Z51 handling package or not. I think the 1LT has bolsters, they're just not adjustable. Of course some seats have side airbags, but I really don't remember what option package you have to get for what years for those.

Ok, so I may be better off with the 2LT or 3LT since the side bolsters can actually be deflated, like in the BMW.

Sorry, I was a little slow finding this. Here's a recent thread on the differences that may or may not be helpful.

I'm 6'3 260 , and the seats are fine - they will hug you a little a first but they are so soft they'll be F@@@ED up in a week and you'll be comfy - in fact one of the biggest complaints about the vettes are the lack of lateral support .
The only difference in the seats are the leather and the option for the power side supports - dimentions , at least to my feeling are the same
