Seats and hard cornering?
Maybe its just the angle of the pictures but it doesn't look like there's enough of a side bolster (sp?) to hold you in the seat during high lateral g manuevers. Hopefully someone who has driven one can dispell this.

Plenty of bolster. Fits me great, but surprisingly fits bigger dudes very well also.
I have heard that the new Camaro seats are said to be the best seat Chevrolet has ever put out, and this was by people who are in the industry.

Well, they can't be any worse than the 4th gen seats. :P

This is something I was wondering about as well. I'm pretty skinny (6'2", 165 lb.) and was a little worried about sliding around in the seat if it didn't have enough support, and especially if the leather is 'slippery' so to speak.

Just get one cheek off the seat, put your knee down and tuck your head under the inside bar ... wait, I thought you were talking about your 999. Oh, nevermind... 
Nice to see another Duc owner here.

 Wait, which peg do I want to push down on when leaning in? Thanks.
