Is it just me, or do others find the seats in the Camaro horrible and painfull?

I recognize that the seats don't hold an occupant well when said occupant is engaged in vigorous driving, but heck I got in my car Sat and took a drive outbound for 1.5 hours and inbound for the same length of time. When I got in the car first thing my lower back was a bit sore. When I got home my back was a whole bunch sore. Today it is awful sore. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Are there others who have the same experience? Is there something about the design of these seats that causes back pain? Heck, I can drive my wife's Honda for hours without trouble, why? Do I need a new seat? What should I get? Or is it just my 47 year old back going to rat sh*&.

The most comfortable and best supportive seats I ever found were in my 92 Vette (sport seats). You actually sit with your butt lower than your feet (when they are on the pedals), but it was a very comfortable driving position. I could easily do a three hour highway stint and get out without feeling tired/sore/worn out. The seats/seating position in the Z06 I had was probably the worst I've ever experienced in a sports car as far as support, but again was very comfortable for long drives. Runners up for best support & comfort were my 86 Porsche 944 Turbo (w/ 911 sport seats) and my wife's current Acura RSX-S. The RSX-S seats look very similar to leather Corbeau TRS seats, and the only complaint I have about them is the bottom is completely flat. If I drove it everyday, I'd solve that with a few washers on the front mounts. The Firehawk seats are okay for comfort, but lacking in side support. The 2000 TA I had was a little better on the side support, but not a whole lot.

Personally, I'm probably going with some Corbeau CR1s to put in the Firehawk. Hopefully, I'll be able to fab up a way to use the existing driver's power seat rack so I can adjust the tilt as needed.
