C5 Z06 seats.

Just kidding. GM hasn't mentioned anything specific to the 1LT that I know of. I believe that the GT seats that come standard are in the 1LT except they're upholstered different.

They're cloth seats, similar to the low loop pile carpet. (j/k just for rockit, stingray and other's benefit)

The ordering guide shows:

Moulan Leather GT Seats standard on 1LT, 2LT and 3LT.

NAPA Leather GT Seats standard on 3LT only.

Performance Leather GT Seats available on 2LT and 3LT. (the order guide shows these seats as standard on 2LT and 3 LT but the performance seats are definately an option and not standard)

Moulan leather, I'm guessing, feels like naugahyde; nappa leather is decent; but what the heck is "performance leather"?

Not sure I understand this - two different types "standard" on 3LT?

How do you "definately" know they're an option? This isn't the Competition Seat, just a standard seat with lumbar/wing adjustment.

Tell me if this is correct:

1. "Moulan Leather GT Seats" standard on all 3 trim levels

2. "Performance Leather GT Seats w/lumbar/wing adjust" available on 2lt and 3lt

3. "Napa Leather GT Seats" guide says standard but must be available on only 3lt

4. "Competition Sport" available on all 3 trim levels.

Then Suede inserts are available on 2lt and 3lt but not sure which seats.

Of the 4 different seats listed, how many have we seen pictures of ????

Standard features replace the same feature of a lower trim level.

1LT - basic seat no lumbar support, etc.
2LT - perforated leather, full power adjustment, lumbar support, etc.
3LT - same as 2LT seat but uses Napa leather
Comp seat totally different.

The only seat that hasn't been show is the 1LT seat - not something they'd probably send out on the auto show circuit.

I am most likely getting the Competition Seats, unless they are terribly uncomfortable for DD use. Does anyone know if these seats come standard with the lumbar/wing adjustment? I sure hope so since it is even more critical on the Competition Seats to have a snug fit.

I am slim (compared to most Americans) so non-adjustable sports seats are often too wide for me. The sports seats on my BMW have side bolster adjustments that I have set to almost the tightest setting and fits like a glove.
