2018/19 COPO seats
 

Question, anybody know who is the seat manufacturer for the 2018/19 COPO Camaro? I like to look of the seat. I'm looking for a Good Safe & comfortable seat for my 82 Corvette build. Current Drag Race COPO owners, how do you like the seats?

Thanks for looking,

They are PROCAR by Scat. I like them.

I have a set I took out of my 2017 Copo I mounted on pedestals At a fair price I would sell them.

Fast, how much weight did you save by going to aluminum? Thanks, Al

What's a fair price with shipping to Brownstown, Mi 48134

Thanks for looking,

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the same as well, so I thought I would ask.

Re: 2018/19 COPO seats
 

I think it was between 26-28 lbs for both They are pretty heavy the Kirky seats were about 15 lbs each

Re: 2018/19 COPO seats
 

I really don't know the value or the cost new I had them mounted on office pedestals.

So, they are not for sale.

Re: 2018/19 COPO seats
 

Is that the exact seat mounted in the COPO Camaro? I have never seen one up close, just in a picture.

Thanks for the link,

Ron,

The correct seats do not recline; they are the ProCar Pro Sport seats.

Thanks Again,

If you can buy new ones for 160 bucks that is a better deal for you I will hold on to mine as office chairs

Re: 2018/19 COPO seats
 

COPO seats are heavy and ,in my opinion ,are nowhere as sturdy or safe as a good ,properly mounted quality aluminum seat like a Kirkey Pro series model.

Re: 2018/19 COPO seats
 

What series Kirkey Pro series are you talking about? The COPO seats I asked about only weight 20 lbs each. Maybe I have the wrong seat in mind.

Re: 2018/19 COPO seats
 

Ron, the typical 17" Kirkey 55 Series seat I use the most weighs 15# with the cover. Add an additional 1 1/2 to 2 # for the aluminum mounting brackets.
The COPO seats I weighed on the cars I have worked on weigh around 32# each with the mounts , so that would be around a 30# savings for 2 seats.
Regardless , the COPO style seats are not true racing "containment" type seats , they are "sporty car" seats in my opinion.

If you want a lightweight seat that is also safe, you need to spend some money and buy an FIA approved seat or either go with the Ultra Shield or Butler Built racing seats.


Ultra Shield and Butler Built builds the seats for all NASCAR series cars and also have drag racing seats. Also, ISP is a well known manufacturer of drag racing seats for Top Sportsman, Pro Mod and Pro Stock.
