Stock look, but improved comfort.

Do the formula seat have power? I didn't know their was a difference in the seats either. I do know for a fact that the power seat tracks vs. the non-powered seat tracks is about 2". Non-powered being the shorter ones.

To anyone who's had both, are the T/A seats more comfortable than Z/28 seats? Any pics of T/A seats in a Camaro? The "leather" is starting to wear out in the usual spots on my seats, so I'm considering a change, but I'd like to stick with a factory seat if I can.

Yes, my old leather formy/v6 seats were power. They are essentially the same minus the lumbar support and the plastic backing.

I've heard many times that Firebird/Trans Am seats are much more comfortable than Camaro seats. Adjustable headrest is always a plus.

I've had a Camaro and a Trans Am. TA seats are more comfortable and supportive for sure. I really enjoy my leather racing seats though. Very comfortable and very supportive.

Has a 6pt chromoly cage and racing harnesses now.

You know you're asking three different things here:

*Best looking
*Most comfortable
*Bang for the buck


The first question should be, do you have a budget you need to stay within?

I've seen pics of S2000 seats in an Fbody before and they look great!

Kinda hard to beat the 6LE seats though for the price....
