Default Question on seat differences

I seek wisdom from the group. I am about to order my C6 (silver/black coupe, Z51). The question is whether I need to order the package that includes the perforated seats. I don't care about the perforations but I do want the seats to have the shape (bolstering) that the perforated seated have. I don't know if the standard seats have the same shape as the seats with the perforated leather.

I have only seen one C6 and it had the perforated leather seats - which I like the shape of. The option sheet referrs to the option package seats as sport seats with perforated leater. The standard seats are not referred to as "sport."

Thanks much.

Tom

Standard seats only have "leather surfaces." Since the seats are one of the best and most important characteristics of the new car, I'd certainly opt for the perforated sports. Can't go wrong with those!

You need the option with "sport seats".

My I suggest that you go to www.chevrolet.com/corvette/ and click on "Build Your Own." There you will see the 1SA package which contains a description of the the seat upgrade included in the package. Personally, I would not even consider the base seats.
Good Luck,

The option is Option 1SA or the 1SB which is the top loaded up option that costs the most that has lots of unnecessary options. The 1SX is the barebone car with the plain jane seats and is the lowest priced corvette among the 3 options.

You can only order the 1SB option package now anyway, 1SA and 1SX are on constraint.

You want the sport seats by all means.
