Carvaggio's are one of the best I have seen. I just don't like losing the side airbags.

I suppose it depends on what you're looking for. There are all kinds of 'racing' type seats on the market. There are many styles and some are less racing oriented than you may think. The drawback with most is you lose your air bag safety system, adjustability, heated seats, etc. If that's of interest search for Sparco, OMP, Recarro, Racetech, etc,

If you want to retain the full functionality of your OEM seats your options are much more limited. As mentioned checkout Caravaggio and perhaps look to Pratt and Miller. I could be wrong but I seem to recall they had a very nice...very expensive seat for their C6.R. Some guys have put Viper seats into their Corvette. Another option would be to have a custom auto upholstery shop custom build your OEM seats. Good luck!
