I AM RETIRED AND DO NOT DD, BUT I FIND THE CAMARO TO BE COMFORTABLE ENOUGH AFTER FIXING THE SEAT RECLINE ISSUE. I HAVE CHRONIC LOWER BACK PAIN AND IF IT WERE NOT POSSIBLE TO DRILL OUT THE STOPS ON THE SEATS I WOULD HAVE SOLD MY CAMARO. WHEN I BOUGHT IT I DID NOT REALIZE OR CHECK THE LACK OF ADJUSTMENT OF RECLINE ON THE SEATS.
GM ADDED A STOP TO LIMIT THE RECLINE ON THE SEATS WHICH MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO ME. THERE IS A POST ON HERE THAT EXPLAINS THE PROCEDURE FOR DRILLING OUT THE EXTRA SET OF STOPS, IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM AND THE INITIAL SET OF STOPS ARE STILL THERE.
I KNOW YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE 2.0T BUT I CAN NOT BELIEVE THE GAS MILAGE, I ONLY HAVE 1400 MILES SO FAR AND BY MY LOG BOOK I KEEP IT IS AVERAGING 36 MPG, THE DIC READS 38 BUT I FIND IT TO BE OFF A BIT.
