If you're *that* hardcore, no stock seat is going to be acceptable. You'll go straight for a roll-cage, halo seat, 6-point & HANS, arm-tethers and nets. At that point I hope you don't have any airbags, carpeting, or sound damping left either.
Given your screen-name, you should already know that a factory seat with a Schroth 4-point is an unsafe idea that would rarely pass tech at most HPDE's, and you should also know cutting up a factory powered/heated/cooled seat to jam in the sub-belts is also absurd. Either deal with the excellent factory Recaro's and use the 3-points, or go full-pull and whip out your wallet to go with cage/halo/6-point/HANS/no-airbags. Going anywhere in the middle is a great way to injure yourself more than stock in a crash.
Buy one and make it a "Track car", because off the showroom floor it's very literally a street car.

Sure is a complaint mate, if Porsche can do it with their carbon buckets...Chevy can start doing it as well. That's all I'm saying. Porsche are street cars, cost a lot more but their heritage is the track ..why is the camaro so different? Especially this model. The Viper isn't different and they provide you with a proper seat. Want to charge an extra $4-5k for proper light weight seats to use with a harness bar and be safe...I'm all in and I know I won't be the only one. That's all.
