There's no doubt that the seats were comfortable mile erasers, but they are flimsy. I've had no less than 7-C5/C6s, and the seats were not designed to support the car's capabilities of delivering, laterally...
I had a harness bar in one of them, but gave up on it, because the seat back would sometimes give way when I tensed up against the dead pedal--quite disconcerting while in the middle of a run. Whoopsee!

Hopefully the new chairs have some 'backbone'... lol

I think the new C7 is a quantum leap for the Corvette--love it!
