Are and/or when will Recaro seats be available?

I haven't seen or heard anything. Will they just be offered as an option after a few years? They should just offer them right away, mustang does. Any one got an idea?

Oh yeah those are just Chevrolet optional seats for the vette. I agree they are very nice but I don't think they hug you the way recaros do, but I honestly wouldn't know for all I know they might be the same thing! I would be happy with those too though!

One of the big reasons I'm holding out on ordering one right away. You would think they would offer something soon since the Mustang offers Recaro's.

I sat in a Z/28 and the bolsters felt bigger, but I am able to adjust them very tightly on the vette. I haven't had it above .55 Gs so far, but I was firmly planted in the seat.

I just want something that feels like you're planted in the seat, I live in the woods, plenty of long, straight roads, and wiiiindy, twisty turns and bends wugh *cough cough* no cops lol

It might be a while. Fifth gen. came out in 2010, ZL1 in 2012, 1LE in 2013, Recaros in 2014 for SS, ZL1, and Z28.

They should come Out with them right away but they will probably wait a year or so

I hope that the Competition or Recaro seats are available from year one. For sure I will order them on my '16 Camaro.

It might be a matter of personal choice, but for me they fit me like a glove. I would have bought them if they had been available. I do hope the next Recaros are as comfortable as fifth gen. seats were.
