What's up with the Front Passenger seat and legroom???? Anyone else notice there is less legroom on the passenger side front seat than the driver side????
There's plenty of space for the seat to go back but I guess the way the brackets are set-up it just doesn't...

yeah i have noticed the same thing..a lot of people ask me why the seats dont go back farther...my friend has a 30th SS and his seat goes back a lot farther but the y-pipes are configured differently i think..but his seat is so much nicer to sit in than my passenger seat is..thankfully i never sit over there.

no... I thought about this, but if you look under neath, a unibody cross support runs right under that hump as well. Short of having a good chassis guy cut it and re-weld a new one, I don't know of any safe way to remove it.

Anyone else ever notice this?

The biggest difference, however is between my 2000 T/A and my wife's 2002 Firebird. The Firebird seat will go back at least 4-5" further than the T/A... I'm not exaggerating. I'm 6'-4" and I have to move the Firebird seat forward to reach the pedals. In the T/A, I'm slightly cramped.
Now that's wierd.

With the seat all the way back in the V6 car, the back of the seat actually touches the rear seat! I wish the T/A did that!
