I would agree. I have owned several cars with cooled seats and I loved it. Since the Corvette isn't a winter weather car I would think that is a more attractive option that heated seats would be. That said I know you can retrofit them in, but there are many parts needed to replace.

cooled seats would be nice, but added weight and cost all adds up. Heated seat don't add weight. It's all about keeping the weight down. Obama fuel mileage needs light cars. vote republican.

I have cooled seats on my Escalade, they are great this time of year in Virginia. One you get used to them, it is hard to do without, especially with record high temps.
I do wish my Vette had them!!!!

It should be quite easy to find a wrecked Escalade or Denali to be a donor.
The "increased weight" argument doesn't hold water with me, we are not talking about a significant weight here, the fan/blower are mostly plastic.
