That's very fitting OP, because the V6 Mustang is a snoozefest!!

Have to say I have never considered whether or not I could sleep in a car a factor in buying a sports car lololol

Of course, we could just point him to the thread where someone did manage to mod their seat so it would fully recline... on my phone so search isnt great, but its here somewhere

I estimate the Camaro front seat recline to 130 degrees; not quite enough to encourage sleep. I regret this because the Camaro is otherwise a very fine automobile (it even has enough legroom). Which leaves the V6 Mustang, for: a sleeper for sleepers, heritage, stance, reasonable fuel economy; against: interior somewhat of a mishmash, longish hood, striking design attracts too much attention.

There you have it, if the Camaro's seat reclined ~15 degrees more I would certainly buy it, but as it stands my money favors the Mustang.

You don't say? I was just at a mattress store yesterday but ended up buying a couch from the furniture store across the street. The mattress wasn't nearly fast enough.

I managed to steal a few moments in a 2017 Camaro at a local dealership today(away from the attention of the salesmen) and I honestly don't understand how any modification, save removing the rear seat, could increase the recline angle; the vertical portion of the seat abuts the rear seat at midway which makes further adjustment impossible....or so it seems. I would like to hear from someone who has actually tried the seatback mod with success.

My guess is you pull the seat a bit further forward, allows for more recline angle.

Or am I just feeding the trolls??? Sorry no way to know.

Moving the seat forward makes little difference in this instance given the contact point at the back. Also, I am 6'2" and need all the legroom this car offers.

May I suggest a Toyota product to cure all your insomnia needs...

[fusion66]

Believe me, I would SERIOUSLY consider purchasing this car if the seat issue could be addressed. I like the proportions of this car and its interior is more elegant vis-a-vis the mustang.

[BradfordCamaro]

So your not gonna buy it.

Fine. Bye bye.

Not really any point to sign up for this forum to tell us.

For what it's worth, I completely agree with you on all counts. Mustang is a way better at being a "car" than Camaro. My family is full of Ford executives, so I get to drive Mustangs... a lot. I will say that the Mustang vert is great at being a "car", in the basic sense of the word. Plenty of room for four, great visibly, plenty of storage space, plenty of trunk space, especially since putting the top down doesn't decrease trunk space. Oh, and you can recline the sh1t out of the Mustang seats. So, it's almost like the Mustang is a slightly more impractical Camry, with great looks, and great handling (if you get the competition package).

The Camaro vert is almost the opposite: it's a slightly MORE practical Miata.
Does the Miata have storage for nick-knacks? No!
Does it have plenty of trunk space? No!
Can you recline the seats? No!

I accept this about the Camaro, and love it for what it is. To me, Camaro is a Miata with more trunk space, more passenger space, and more power. I love it!



If you're still stuck on reclining the Camaro front seats, here's the solution:

Pages 3-6 have all the info, easy to follow pictures, and drill bit size.

Now this thread can go away.
