Though I could fit in the C7 I also found it wasn't nearly as comfortable for my 6'4" frame. I owned my Z06 for about a year then sold it as I just tired of being cramped in it. Had no issues with my C5/C6. Wouldn't take much extra room so here's hoping the cockpit is at least a tiny bit more spacious. Maybe the mid engine format will help with that.

C7 > disable bulkhead limit switch for increased leg room

no,only people 5'-10'' and under,,to save weight

I'm 6'2" 196lbs.... Considering the C8's configuration,... I can hope the interior will be something like a Ferrari 488 I have driven... Plenty of head & leg room, due to no engine / transmission up front.

Just a PITA to get in & out of it.

As long as it is big enough for Saquon Barkley, it will be fine for me.

I have no clue, and neither does anyone but a few GM and supplier employees that have actually sat in the thing.

I've never understood why if OEMs go to the lengths to offer seriously bolstered "race" seats in cars, they also don't go the extra step to offer a couple sizes. Heck, the BMW motorcycle dealer offers a couple different seat heights that are dealer swappable options, it wouldn't be that hard for GM to offer a standard sized, and a +1 and -1 option (at least on the drivers side), either as a line option on customer ordered or a small stock of dealer swappable for dealer ordered ones.

I meant different sizes of the same seat, not different styles of seat. If you look at aftermarket seats, the same model is often offered in a couple different sizes to fit varying people better.

Can you do that in 2017 I was able to in my 2016 ZO6 but when I tried in GS 2017 they covered the switch up couldn't get to it behind seat like 2016

LOL! i think that's GM'S overall plan. want to attract a much younger demographics by "easing" the
older crowd out or even in and going for 38 regular 6 foot young types.
the C7 is cramped and the C8 will most likely continue this youth movement. the C6 may turn out to have been the last "roomy" Corvette, while the C7 will be the last FE, and the C8 may turn out to be the
last gas engine corvette.

Comp seats, GT Seats, Racing Seats, whatever. Honestly, what percentage of guys who buy Corvettes need super contoured, bolstered racing, seats? Almost none of us and that is the absolute reality. I remember the God awful seats in the C4s that I owned. They were horrible and I have no idea at this point what level of interior etc they were as I wouldn't drive one of those archaic jack *** carts if you gave me one. The standard seats I had in my C5s, C6s, and C7 Z06 were great, no complaints about any of them but I am also not a 5' 6" internet racing champion with a little man complex either.

The drivers in photos are all shorter than me..... Their low seats have inserts for that "perfect fit".....( Not much of a headliner either)

My C5s and C6s were comfortable as sports car go with the "standard seats" that some of the Corvette haters seem to run all over. My C7 Z06 with the basic seat was acceptable but tight for someone 6' 3". Maybe a ME Corvette with a pint sized motor in the trunk like a 911 may have more driver and passenger room.

Anyone who uses their car in any sort of performance application or on a track?

What's the point of owning a sports car if you don't understand what bolsters are useful for?

mountie55

An ME car ( like my friend's Ferrari 488 GTB) had plenty of room due to more space in front for length.

It's pretty snug in my C7. I'm 6'3", 245, and have the seat at the limit. My left leg sometimes hits the motion sensor/trunk release buttons if I'm not careful entering/exiting the car. As far as the C8, I guess we'll have to wait for the reveal to test fit. I'm going to do my best to shoe-horn myself into one. That's for sure!

mountie55

Hey, it's tough to squeeze into the 488 with legs ( tons of shoe marks on the door & door edges).....I'm 6'2"..

But that's half the fun

sigh....another reason why a ferrari is so coveted

TBIRD57

imo i think he just implied that a great many corvette owners don't track their cars. bolsters are found
on cars not geared for performance nor track.
