I looked into this and all I can tell you is that XTrooper on LS1.com said they wouldn't fit.
I sure hope he'd wrong though, I'd love to get some Z06 seats in my car

I measured my seat brackets last summer and I had a guy on here meause those of his C5. They came out to be the same length and width. It was something like 2x inches long and I can't remeber how wide. Too my knowledge they can be fitted into our cars, and it isn't very hard. I've seen them done before, I believe some 'Vettes have a full power passenger seat but thats the only hang up. Check out ebay for the seats, they arn't cheap. I came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be worth the money for Corvette seats, over Corbeaus for instance.

Yeah, i was going to say ive seen it done, and they do fit. Im not sure, but i dont think its a direct fit in, like swapping to TA seats for instance in a Camaro, but they're worth it, imo. Now, if you do Corbeau's or Sparco's or something, thats still cool, and just as worth it, imo.
