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 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.

I was having lower back problems and traced the problem to not having my Camaro seat tilted back far enough. If there was more lumbar support, I don't think this would happen. Once I got the seat tilted back more, the back problems went away, but I then started having ankle problems! It felt like I had a sprained ankle when I walked, but while driving it never hurt. My wife said "It's because you heel/toe the clutch/gas all the time," so I installed a wider gas pedal and changed my heel/toe technique to use the ball of my foot. That cured the ankle problem!
