Im going to be getting the whole ebony interior swapped in soon as I find a donor car in the junkyard, is it the seat? If no one is sitting on it I can move that seat back and forth real easily it adjustest back and forth but when it's "locked" it still moves like 2-4 inches either way,

So list of questions...

Seat adjustment
What are the best things to sound deaden to make it a quieter? Im getting a e-cutout so when she's not in the car Im going to open it up .

Thanks guys!
Damn you must love her, because I wouldn't do **** to my car for a girl unless I'm in love or its to improve my car. LOL

take the seat apart (just undo the bolts under it), make sure there are no cracks, anywhere, and that everything is in place... if everything is, make sure you tighten it correctly... that should stop whatever movements you have...

if that doesnt work, i suggest you sell the chevy and buy a toyota

you guys are funny - ride is fine for me - I actualy think it's a little soft, but she got use to driving in my clk 430 I had for a while till I got the trans am, couldn't really hear much or feel anything - just trying to get it as close as I can to being "quiet" I did notice her head and any other girls who weighted under 120ish bobing back and forth ill take the seat out and check it out..

About the sound is there any how-to's on sound deadening in F-bodys? thanks guys

Last time I had someone gripe about the ride of my car, the rear seats were removed for 1 year, they had to drive themself.

Beggers can't be choosers.

It's down right rude she will gripe when you are driving using your gas.
