Well i dont know what kind of radio you're listening to lol but that just took it to a whole other level. I'm just saying, looks like a camaro, but has corvette motor and interior.

The sex between a Corvette and a Camaro is the best analogy I've heard and I'm going to use that at the cruises.. The Z06 seats weren't too hard to get to work. It took some research to figure out how to get the power seat options to work, other than that, I didn't use the stock seat mounts. I reinforced the floor boards and bolted the Z06 seat sliders directly to the floor which also lowered the seats some. I do wish I went with regular Corvette seats vice the Z06 seats just because the passenger seat for the Z06 isn't power. But in general, those seats were orders of magnitude the best investment I made in the car. It's sooooo nice not slip sliding away in the seats going around corners. Plus much more leg room for me (NO legroom in the rear seat though, but the GTO rear seats don't help that cause either).

ha ha, yeah, That's WRIF, the Drew and Mike show out of Detroit... They get some pretty bizarre guests that's for sure. And no, it's not my normal radio station, I was cruising to another station and they were talking about cars, .... And I just couldn't believe what this guy was saying... Here's an article on him. He's not right.....

Jeff,
I'm pretty sure I got the steering wheel from Summit. A bunch of vendors have it, but I think Summit was cheapest. And the hardest part of wiring the seat was trying to find a schematic of the seats. i happened to find a thread on the vette forums thaat talked about putting a power passenger seat in a Z06 that i was able to use to figure out the wiring. But it finally came down to just applying +12V and a ground to the right wires. Now, the air bags and seat heaters don't work, but I don't car about that...
