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*&.

JonV - Can you put the Honda seat in you Camaro? J/K

I really like the TA seats, I like the support on the side and the envelope feel. They are expensive though, aren't they. Dang.
I'd put an aftermarket seat in my Z28 but I love leather ($$) and I love the power seats (more $$), not to mention I need full seat travel because my wife is a foot shorter then I. (Yeah she dated me for the car.... That and I wrecked 'her' SS and she insists on driving my car every now and again. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) )

I do find the ghetto riding position the best on long trips with my feet up by the seat... Until my knee knocks the radio volume knob off after turning the radio all the way up! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
