[V8] Seat height

[Michele_Deltergo at KeyBank.com]

Well from the responses I am not crazy.  The car is a 90 and I have not had
seat time in later V8's.  I'd say the diff is between 1 and 2 inches.  It
is very apparent in view over the top of the steering wheel, of course head
height and leg height.  I did swap in a 200 seat a year ago and no
difference so that led me to think it was chassis/structural to the car.
thx

... what year is your V8?  There is *supposed to be* a change for the 1991
model year that lowered the seat frame 2.54cm (AKA 1") in the 1991 models
... so if your car is a 1990 model you might well be observing a
difference.  I still find head room a bit lacking in my '91s, so I'm
skeptical ...
