If anyone is wondering, as I have been for months since I saw the interior at the NYC Gala, the new Gen V seats will fit in our cars. Well that's with custom brackets made just like the Gen III and IV seats, that's good news if you wish to upgrade. I saw and sat in the Gen V this past weekend and I felt like I was in a.... :bonker: hate to say.... Ferrari. These seats are F'ing amazing. Two engineers told me they will fit if we can make brackets. I know what my next project is... :headbang:

I have also been dreaming about a set of those seats in my car. I have tried to find info at the Sabelt website, but no luck. Thanks for the info. Now to find a pair for sale...

That's good news. Now for the real important news, what would a set of gen 5 seats run from dodge, 6k?

Just wait until a few weeks after the first deliveries then look on wrecked exotics, unfortunately.

I already put my order in with KNG SNKE for the first Gen V he parts out.


Sounds like there would be a market for one of our vendors to develop an adapter bracket..... HINT, HINT.

Not sure on price but it will be up there.

Thanks Doc, great way to steal all my ideas. Now go get your car fixed and stop wasting my time.

Yes they are very nice looking in the fancy GenV interior but i think they'd clash with the raw/minimalistic Gen1/2 interior.

Also, i'd rather have a more functional aftermarket seat for a fraction of the price.(corbeau, cobra, recaro, sparco, ect...)

Sounds cool, but Ibet you those seats would cost a fortune.

Just a quick question. Not trying to rob this thread, but does anyone know where you get the fabric viper emblems that peoiple get put on their seats?

Those look like Recaro Pole Position seats about $1250 each in leather plus mounting brackets. I haven't found off-the-shelf mountings that will work for a gen 2. Maybe others have.

Correct with custom mounting brackets.

So VERY true as usual with new deliveries. Guys will be looking for Gen V seats, wheels, tires, etc. for their older Gens but it still will not be a Gen V
