I wrote this for another member via PM, but thought I'd share.
I recommend that you go to a dealership and see if it is acceptable. Rear passenger space is not a high point of the Camaro and will be very different from a four-door car. I take my kids to Cars and Coffee. They love it. You will have a sports car that can actually brake and turn.
I have a crew cab truck and my wife has an extended Expedition, so I normally don't cram the the fam into the Camaro (family of 6).
Situations:
1. [GOOD] Me + 3 Kids to Cars and Coffee (Ages 9, 7, 4): 9 Year old is comfortable in the front seat in a fairly forward position, 7 year-old in a booster is comfortable behind the 9. 4-year-old is ok in a booster behind, but is sitting cross legged because my seat is all the way back nearly. I could drive in an abnormal driving position 2-4" forward.
2. [Not so Good] Me + 3 of my older kids (12,9,7). I have to ride in the abnormal driving position. 9 and 7 kid have to swap positions on the way there and back.
3. [Not so Good] Me + Adult + 2 kids, doesn't really happen since I have 4 kids. Both Adults and both kids would be uncomfortable for a trip beyond 30 minutes.
4. [Really not good] 3 Adults, Passenger will be up in the dash and back seat adult will have head touching the roof if taller than 5' 6".
5. [Unacceptable] 4 Adults, Really won't work unless they are really short.
Factors:
1. If the kids are out of boosters, then it is better. The boosters raise their knees and move them forward in the seat, which contacts the back of the front seat.
2. Your height and of your passengers. I'm average at 5' 9" and drive in a regular position. The shorter you are the better, but shorter drivers will also have more visibility issues.
