My question is, do the seats in a 3LT have a greater range of adjustment than a 1LT? I have a 2017 3LT Z51 roadster and my friend has a 2018 1LT coupe. He stands a bit over 6'3" and sits a bit taller than I do. After driving my car he felt that he had more room than in his car.

Did he move the seat back to exactly how far his seat is in his car? Most stock seats increase the head clearance as the seat goes back (the rail has an inclanation).

Same range of adjustment, but the 1LT seats do not have an adjustable lumbar support, or inflatable side bolsters, or heating/cooling.

Do you know it's the same?

Back when I owned a Camaro, the manual Recaro seats of Z/28 provided 0.5" less height than the powered 2SS Recaro seat, even though they looked the same.
