I just did this. Why the heck did I wait so long? I'm not sure exactly how much extra room I gained but it is noticeable and makes a huge difference for me given I'm 6'4" tall. Have to check and see if the passenger seat has the same thing as that's even worse (not that I ride as a passenger too much).

I bought my C7 Z06 "new used" with a few hundred miles. The owner traded it on a C6 Z06 because he was a big guy and fit in the C6 better. Little strange but...

In that case the mod might have made the seat go lower, but either way, there is a difference in leg room for sure and my arm is also further away from the wheel which was the first thing I noticed after the mod. I have a way that I rest my arm against the door panel and my elbow isn't as bent now...

Just an update. I did this mod to my new '15 Z06 (the pic I posted earlier was from my '14 Stingray), and it also made a noticeable difference. I have the competition seats...
A huge thanks to Carnut52 in this thread for the tip. Those extra couple of inches really made the leg room and longer arm reach perfect for me.

Also, for those who are doing this mod, remember to undo it when taking the car in or you could have a shop monkey blow your seat motor.

which seat
Unplug the seat limiter. Pull up the carpet behind the drivers seat. There is a plastic stripe that has two white wires at the top. Follow those toward the passenger side and there is a small black harness. Unplug that and you will have 2" of leg room. Did mine yesterday
So is the plug behind the drivers seat or the passenger seat, I have a 2015

Get the transparent roof and you gain a couple of inches of headroom.

I had Issues
I'm 6'4" 235lbs and I could not fit into the Z06. I suspect that it may have been due to the sportier seats. I ended getting the Stingray because I could actually fit into it better. I recorded a video of how I gain a bit more legroom. Now that I figured this out, I'm wishing I had gotten the Z06.

I had the same experience with the Z07 package in my 2015, it was just too rough. The Z07 really makes it more for the track than daily driving.

BTW I track my car some and getting out with my helmet on takes a little for thought. It's a bit tight, but doable. We have to pass a 12 sec fire exit drill for the Optima Series. In full fire gear.

Those seats are the GT seats and they are available in the Z06. When I bought a 2015 M7 Z06 it had the Comp Seats and I didn't care for them. Sold the car and ordered a 2016 A8 with the GT seats, all is well. I'm 6'2" and approx. 275. One addition is I CAN'T fit in the pass side. I have to drive or I can't ride in it. There is an appreciable difference in the leg room of both sides.

Check out my video below. It may prevent you from having to disconnect the seat limiter. I was also thinking of doing that, but I heard that you don't really gain much. My video shows how to potentially get more room for your left leg. Not much I can tell you about the right leg.
