This makes me proud that I'm a "short" 5'7".

I'm 6'4" also, but if I put my seat back any further, Id have to drive with straight arms, that's not very comfortable. I must be built like a t-Rex

Rear leg room? Camaros have rear seats?! I thought that was a storage area in case I don't have enough room in the trunk.

Anyways, I'm 6' 3" and I've noticed the best seating position for me is about 1" from maximum rear position. This is a cool mod though for really tall people.

I don't think that anyone other than my 8 year old son has sat in the back seat. It is aVery Nice Storage Area !!

This is awesome. Did u take it to someone I'n your area or are they on the net? If so could u link there site?

I'm 6'5 and This would help me alot
When u had your seat out is there much room under the seat? If there is anyway to make it lower that would help me out most lol, I just need to pull out the seat and look I guess

I just wish it would make the seat shorter. Do any of you tall guys have a sun roof? I'm only 6'2", but hit my head on the roof. I can adjust the seat back, lower it, and lean it back to fix it. That kind of works, but puts me in this strange leaned back riding position.

Yes, I have a sunroof.. I am 6'4" tall with a long torso. I lean the seat back as well, plus I always wear a ball cap (well, Camaro Hat) but I am used to it now and it doesn't bother me any more.

If I take off my hat it's not so bad, but then I have "hat head" since I am almost always wearing a ball cap. Just wish it was about 2" taller.

2 years ago I rented a 2SS with sunroof and had the same issue. However, I now have a 2011 2SS with sunroof and don't have the issue. I'm not sure what the deal is, but with my current car I can push the seat further down and further back than that rental.

Also with my seat pushed all the way back I can barely fit my hand between the back seat and the back of the front seat, no way would I get 4".

I'm 6'3" btw.

I will make a video or 2 of the Driver's Seat Bracket to show you guys where the bracket it and show you the additional movement of the Driver's seat. I will upload to Youtube so Stay Tuned for the link.

Camaro21 · 04-08-2011, 12:03 PM

Is clearence from airbag an issue if you do have an accident.
Just a little paranoid. Otherwise, great mod?

Camaro21 · 04-12-2011, 03:45 PM
