Lee,

I get the fact that the car is all tech. I get the fact that everything is all new.

Undoubtedly this will be the biggest roll of the dice since the last restyle of the Silverado-and that roll out illustrates why radical and new does not always translate into “like” to a buyer.

At least it is gonna be cheap.

Anyone that has dreamed of Ferraris and Lambos is going to love it. I love it. Very tempting, especially at that price point.

Needs moar doo-dads on the dash and console to take your mind off the driving part. /sarc

There Are Three Seat Options

GT1 - a sporty style seat with emphasis on comfort, with good support for performance driving situations. Mulan leather trim, optional two-way lumbar support, and bolster adjustment.

GT2 - A middle-ground seat added to the Corvette lineup because too many customers were checking every box and getting Competition Sport racing seats as a result—those seats are great for track days but not so much for daily driving. The GT2 includes carbon-fiber trim, Nappa leather inserts, Mulan leather bolsters, a jet black painted seatback, two-way lumbar support and bolster adjustment, and heating and ventilation.

Competition Sport - For the serious, track-focused driver only, these have aggressive bolsters, full Nappa leather seating surfaces and carbon-fiber trim on the headrest. They have heating and ventilation, and a new Kevlar-vest-inspired durable performance textile, as well.
