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'm kind of late in all this ...
The Forza mounts are REALLY tall. So, I fabbed my own using 3/16 x 1 1/2 flat stock, fashoined in the shape of a tic-tac-toe game. Each of the 8 legs had some bolt going through it ... the four on the seat and the 4 studs in the floor. I now sit a LOT lower in the car ... plenty of room to put my helmet on while in the car ... I'm 6' and weigh 250 .... |
