Biggest vette flaw aside from interior quality. It's amazing they survived so many decades with bad sport seats.

C6 Zo6, only Vette I ever fell in love with and drool over (except maybe a '67 Stingray).

But, yea, the seats. Get em out and track this beast. The guy I run at Sebring with has one, a good racing seat is CRITICAL.

I haven't decided yet when to track it. I knew it wouldn't be this past summer. Next summer is hazy, too.

I did track the Z and loved it, so I definitely want to get back out there, but money is the issue.

So you know whats it like. You know you cant get the Z anywhere near its limits on the street, this monster is exponentially further up the performance chain. Save up, make it happen. Youll love your car on a track, its natural environment.
