I have scoured many other options. A 60th anniversary diamond blue interior swap would be interesting. Both options on eBay are damaged. And I’m not sure the 2012+ seats are any better. Certainly not worth a $2000 cost to convert. C7 seats look alright but it would require conversion harnesses.
Caravaggio is the only OEM option. They were supposed to be anyway but GM moved on. Hopefully somebody has a set one of these days…

Hi. I have the Daytona seats in my C6 ZR1 Centennial, I am 5'7'' and 180 pounds and they are very confortable, my oem seat where the latest version on C6 seats (2012-2013) but the Daytona's holds me much better, I also have a 2019 C7 Grandsport with alcantara competition seat, they are also comfortable but not as wide as the Daytona. I am not tracking the cars so can't say if one would be better but I do long rides and no confort issue. I am a little wide at the shoulders and upper part of my back, a smaller person would probably love the C7 competitions seat.

well, they're certainly a less expensive option now that they're popping up all over, from crashed cars.
I have a friend who recently put some C7 comp seats in his C6 Z and is very happy with them, tracking the car and he has a slight build as well. Further, this allows you to retain your original seats for resale, whatever. And I think they retain all power options asides from side air bags...you'd have to research. No sure
I love my Caravaggios, and they look and feel great, but would probably go the C7 comp seat route if i was doing it all over again. About 5 yrs ago, this wasn't a popular swap (now, there are several "how to" threads).
I don't know how exactly you use the car and they're not race seats but they'll surely fit you way better than what you have.
..just my .03

I don't know if, or which C7s have 'inflatable bolsters', or if they remain functional when those, or more recently C8 seats are swapped in,
You'd have to research that, as well as whether any seat mounted airbags from those seats can remain functional.

Do any C6s? My 08 3LZ seats had no inflatable bolsters....just the seat mounted side airbags, which were eliminated.

So as I previously mentioned in my post #16 above, C7 or C8 comp seats may be a more viable option these days. Had they been available when I got my Caravaggios I'd have considered them, if color scheme was right

I haven’t been able to find a viable seat. Plus apparently you have to take apart the passenger seat to transfer a sensor.

2024 bump. Starting to think this combo doesn’t exist.

I've been looking for the past few months and I haven't seen many come up (C7 Comp, C8 Comp, Caravaggio), also to find a specific color/material is going to be like hitting the lottery (I am looking for black/red stitch/alcantara centers and that seems like a unicorn)!
