Default Corvette seat in a camaro?????????????

Will a corvette seat fit in a camaro? My seats are very uncomfortable (cloth Z28 seats) and I love the feel of the C5 seats. I was wondering if you can just put the seat rails of a camaro on the bottom of a corvette seat and put it in the camaro? Is this possible or are they different sizes?

thanks
Robert

im pretty sure you have to use the corvette bracket, not 100% sure on that but i remember someone saying you need the corvette bracket or fab one up yourself.

but will the seat physically fit in the camaro? Width wise, will it hit and rub the console and door? Height wise, will it be sitting up abnormally high? Will it sit just as far back from the dash as the camaro seat?

Thanks
Robert

There is a Firebird that put Corvette seats in and it looks normal.. Im not totally sure how they did it, but I know its possible.. I believe that there is also someone on here that put Z06 seats in a Camaro and they fit.. Below is a picture of them in the bird..

i dont see why they would have a fitment issue, there are some people on here that have done it just havent seen your post yet. but as for hitting anything i dont think it would and you should be able to adjust the seat and stuff like that still.
