Sport seats really more sporty????
I just studied the seat pics a little more closely and I swear the "base" seats look like they have more lateral support than the sport seats. Actually, I'm talking about the seat backs. The seat bottoms look identical.
After all the crap that has been said about the C6 seats (and lack of support) this seems very odd to me. Take a look at this picture below and tell me I'm nuts!

Totally nuts! It's obvious they are two completely different seats. Just kidding, I was taking the it's not a Camaro rear end point of view.
Playing devils advocate....
Oh and the bottoms are not identical.......for real!

The blurry cell phone camera pictures make the Comp seats look more heavily bolstered on the seat bottom as well as the back. However, that may be a trick of angles.

So the competition seats are harness friendly obviously. BUT I wonder if there is a cross bar to bolt them down to? That is the correct way to mount a racing harness it needs to be bolted in the rear at shoulder level not to the bottom of the seats.

It just seems they are more because of style and not because of function.
