Really !!!

[Tripler]

Watch this video . Do your corvette ZR-1 seats move like this one ???
What the hell ,,, . How is that safe !!! . Is it broken perhaps ??? !!! . I hope so . How did this car pass a saftey ???
Do all C4 seats behave in this manner under acceleration ???

I love the LT5 motor and the C4 but this seat moving around is just a plain horrible design and unsafe :(:(:(

Someone please tell me this seat is broken ,,,:(:(:(

[fletchusmc]

Neither of my C4's do that.

I've never watched the back of the seat under acceleration.

Tell skinhead to tighten up his seat.

:pray:pray No time to watch the seat, too busy trying to back pedal for traction.

[scottfab]

Gee I wonder if the seat cushions collapse a bit under the guys weight under acceleration too? OH NOOOOOO
He could slip off the chair and bounce around in the back compartment if it were a 415 or TT.:-D

Or grab your GPS as it jumps off the windshield on its way to the storage area behind the seats! LOL!

His seat frame is broken. My wife shifts faster than him.

Those were pretty awkward shifts.

Those red interiors are BEAUTIFUL.

I see the shifting wizards made an appearance. I'd like to see vids from everyone here. He uses proper hand positioning for the most part. Better than some gorrillas Ive seen on a shifter, gripping the shifter so hard it's about to turn purple.

The pull back position for 2nd, was OK, then moved his hand position decent position for grabbing 3rd, allowing the natural biomechanics of the wrist and hand to snatch 3rd gear.

People that keep the same handposition for both push and pull wonder why they blow shifts.
You guys with these very nice German ZF units are spoiled, try cutting your teeth on a worn T-56, esp if you've got gorilla hands.

Power shifting is for actual drag races and rental cars. On the street with nobody lined up next to me, I give my synchros a little time for the gear speed to spin down on the upshifts seeing as I'll be the one to pay for the rebuild.

The seat track looks busted, although the fisheye lens view exaggerates it a little.

Exactly, leaves an extra hand for the "ladies".

I'd love to take a 4l80e equipped ZR-1 with a 4500rpm stall torque converter for a rip. It would be a blast.

Exactly, that's a GoPro or other small cam with an extreme wide angle that distorts the image.
Because the top of the seat back is closest to the camera it exaggerates the movement.
Also, note that the seat back is adjusted away from the panel that backs it up. Some of us with long legs adjust it all the way back for a solid support.

I think if any ZR-1 owner used this camera, at that angle, it would look the same.

Me too, it would be a blast to just stuff your foot in it after you set the shift point to 7,200.
But you better have some extra power built in, because of the weight penalty of the 4L80e, which is almost 100lb. heavier than the ZF6
Not good for stockers.

The seat back will tilt forward a few inches but that seat will not move at the base,G.M. saved that feature for the C5:p
