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 ,,,

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.

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

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.

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.
