What is different in the seating position 4th gen camaro/firebird
What is different in the seating position 4th gen Camaro/Firebird.
Maybe its me but I just recently pick up a 95 T/A and for some reason Firebirds seats don't seem to go back far enough or the dash is closer .... I just can't put my finger on what different in the seating or interior from my 97 camaro it just seems that the firebird has less room in it then compared with my 97 camaro z/28....
does the center console sit higher in the firebird then the camaro ??
Is it just me and i am crazy or have other noticed something i am not

It could be the power seats/no power seats thing. Non-power seats sit lower and go back farther than power (If I recall correctly).

Check the seat width. I know that the seat bases were widened after the 96 model year. Something about the middle age folks being a little bulkier in that area than GM expected.

Some of the seats were different I think. I know my '95 Firehawk had different seats than Melissa's Z.
