If I ever need to replace my seats, I'd seriously think about doing a pair of 12/13 ZR1 logo seats.

You know, when the C5 came out, I remember the big Corvette Quarterly C5 introduction book that came out. They tried to promote the whole C5 interior as upgrade over the C4 with its "soft nuanced" leather and "soft touch" pieces here and there.

I don't mean to be hard on any Corvette interior as I like all Corvettes, however, when the dust has settled, I don't look back on the C5 interior as "upgrade" over C4. At least the C4 interior came across as unique to Corvette and not a theme that seemed the same in ALL GM vehicles.

My thought is C5 interior was not the high investment area of the car...that the largest share of GM's investment went into frame and drivetrain.

First thing I thought when I bought my 01 Z06 was that the interior looked very similar to my Tahoe, which was not a good thing.

Could have been worse.
In 1976 they took the steering wheel from a Vega and put it into a Corvette.
How low can you go?
Not much lower than that.

I like my 93 sport seats much better than the 94 seats in the Z. so Much so that I will be switching them out. I wish I could have just used my 93 seats but they have a 40th emblem in them so I couldn't do a swap with my LT1 car. As much as I like the 93 seats better, the 94 interior looks more modern than the early interior and I feel the 94 seats do as well. That's a big reason why I haven't rushed to take the 94 seats out. I debated on opening them up and adding bolstering or just going aftermarket.
