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*&.

I've been looking at this more and thinking some more about it. I went out and measured the seat pans on my beater and on wife's car. Neither give problems. Neither is much longer than the Camaro, maybe an inch. The difference seems to be in the seating position. In each of the cars that pose no seating pains, I sit more upright with my legs angled down to the pedals so the length of the seat pan is really irrelevant because the weight of my legs is being borne mainly by my feet/heels. In the Camaro with the more prone seating postion the legs are stretched almost straight out and are not given enough support to avoid straining back muscles. I suppose that short legs can create probems too if the seat pan is too long. I think I am going to have to look at the Recaro Sport with an adjustable seat pan.
