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*&.

Well, I got some really interesting info today re the seat.

A new chiropractor came to town bought a house through my wife, and so I'm obliged to do my business with him now, or so says my wife. Well new chiro does house calls; comes to my place. I suggest that I think my problem is the car seat. Will you take a look. He goes to look. He sits in the seat. He gets out of the car. He says your problem is your seat. Simply put the seat pan is too short by 3 inches. Result is that my leg muscle is extended and at the same time under load. This is a no no. This causes back muscles to compensate to to try to carry load that leg muscles can't because they are extended. Extended periods of time with back muscle loaded causes accute back pain.

Solution. Get a seat with a larger seat pan, or get shorter legs, or quit driving the car. Options two and three aren't going to happen.
