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*&.

Someone posted this a long time ago, so last month, I went ahead to did it:

If you take the driver seat apart and down to the frame, there are 2 metal brackets that can be bent to fit your shape. This is a good way to get some lateral support without spending money on a seat. I bent both brackets until the sides of the seats. After several tries, I got the perfect fit. The seat now hugs the sides of my ribcage a bit. I didn't believe it would make much of a difference but it really did. Here's a picture I took when I did it. I like to document things:

The leather slips off if you undo it where it clips together and work the velcro apart. Extra padding can be slip under the leather cover if lower back support is needed.
