Nice looking Cfer. Only drawback is with it being black you are going to be spending a lot of time washing it.

The only one I’ve ever seen. I will say, seats wore way better than a lot of the leather interiors I’ve seen. And being a black car, it was a lot more comfortable sitting on cloth when it was out in the sun.

My Dad’s yellow ‘87 coupe, the first vette I ever drove (before getting my own), has cloth seats and yes, the cloth does seem to hold up better than the leather and no toasted buns in the summer

Nothing like leather seats to burn your legs in th e summer. I always kept a towel over steering wheel then threw on seat in cars with leather.

Holy shit, nothing personal here guys, but cloth seats are tacky as **** on any sports car, let alone a Vette. Mustang tier stuff. Go leather or go home.

I bought mine used, and it was not anywhere close to decision criteria. But as it turned out, I viewed it as a positive over the years that I owned it.

Porsche use to offer cloth. All sports cars should be leather and no auto.

I remember the hideous plaids they offered in the early 928s…I’m really glad they got over that.

Trans AM with no ac and cloth seats was awesome in the summer and winter actually.
Leather seats arw nice in any car but if it's hot as hell out I'll take cloth(unless perforated lesther cooled of course) in any car.

Lay a nice thick cotton towel on the seat during the hot months, easy peasy.

I just tilt the seat back forward when I'm parked. No burnt legs yet.
