Default Car Sickness - Camaro problem?

Hello,

I'm new to the boards. I've been around but never posted. I have a pretty strange situation/question for the Camaro crowd;

Anybody ever have passengers that get car/motion sick when they're in your camaro? I'm getting ready to buy my brother's 2001 SS, and everytime we're in it, she swears that the front window shape is making her car sick.

I know this is strange but does anybody else have this issue?

Thanks

Only issues with sickness I've ever heard of associated with these cars is passnegers getting sick from raw exhaust fumes due to catless dumps under the cabin. But if they are strong, they get used to it after a while (or if they're weak it just kills them). Either way, problem solved.

Yeah.. I had a gutted cat on my 05 GTO and just the fumes from that made me sick...

Either she's sick, or doesnt want me to have a Camaro, haha...

My fiancee rode shotgun in all 3 Camaros for a good 40k miles and never once complained of being car sick.

My wife always complains about this "motion sickness" when she's on the passenger side. I thought she was just saying that because she likes to drive it, but I guess it could be true.

If im not driving im a bad passenger. Not a backseat driver just i get sick very easy if im not in control. It doesn't matter who drives most of the time i get sick over a long trip. If that someone has some type of habbit that they do when they drive whether they keep taping the gas instead of a steady foot on the gas that can really bother me. I cant sleep in a car, cant read, cant watch movies, cant play video games. Overall i am the worst kind of passenger, i dont even like to talk i just focus on whoever is driving and what they are doing that bothers me. Thats if i dont get sick, in the backseat its 10x more likely ill get sick. By sick i mean massive headache thats about all.

haha my ex used to get a lil car sick until one day on the way back from the beach.She was sitting on three towels(i dont **** around when it comes to my interior) and she was fine.Next day i had her sit on towles again and she was fine.She was short and not actually seeing the road cause of the dash and hood just midway down the bottom of the car and it made her sick.So if your chick is short try it.

in my previous camaro I noticed that the front window had been replaced and that the optics looked weird on it, like the curve in the glass was playing tricks with the depth of field, sounds weird but this may be what she's talking about

The only sickness I got was the mod bug. Once you get it the only way to fix it is more power.

^^ hmm weird that you mention that, because i was actually in my GF's 01 V6 Camaro today, and i did happen to notice that looking out of the winshield sort of had a funny mirror thing going on, like said above there is a curve in the glass.

Maybe that's where all my brain cells went.
