Default Competition Seats for $1000? Wow

Found a guy selling his z06 and didn’t care for the comp seats. Traded him my GT seats plus $1k

I absolutely love them. Makes the driving experience that much better

I have the Competition Sports seats in my 2015 and love them. I remember when GM announced them and told customers if they were planning to use the car as a daily driver not to order the Comp seat as they were designed primarily for track use.

I did the comp conversion on my gt seats and love them. a bit softer on the Bottom cushion but firm on the backs. best of both worlds

You are certainly a very lucky individual - that is one heck of a deal you made. I would love to have a set of comp seats, but the usual asking price is just more than I want to pay at this point. Plus finding a set that would go with my light gray interior may be a problem.

I don't agree I don't track mine and drive it practically everyday but about 4000 a year and they feel good the C8 seats GT1 look kinda cheap

A lot of Vette owners I've seen wouldn't fit in the comp seats.

Love my Competition seats! One of the reasons that sold me on the Grand Sport. I find them very comfortable.

Are the GT to competition seats a fairly straight forward swap?

The comp seats are by far the better looking and have definite cool factor but not the right choice for me as I am broad across shoulders and rib cage. I was fortunate enough to have a pal with comp seats and got to sit in them before ordering my car. For me the GT seats worked better. You did get a really good deal!

I’m built similarly so now I’m second guessing doing the conversion in a year or two. I’ll have to see if someone has comp seats I can sit in and see how I fit.
