Sure, as long as you don't have to shift. Another reason why I vote automatic.

I guess there could be a version of "performance" involved.

Can and has been done. Sit in the passenger seat with it all the way back, let her sit facing you. Then lay back and try to enjoy yourself with the sound of your cheap GM plastic interior cracking all around you. Its also possible with her on her back, feet on the dash, and upper body in the hatch area if you get on top. Unless you like fatties...

I found that while driving, the seat bolsters push a girl a little close to the steering wheel.

Since we're on the topic, make sure your date wears a short skirt, and make sure you open her door for her when you let her in and you'll be rewarded

How stupid can you get??? This isn't tech and it isn't automotive performance. This is worse than the "what kind of horse power will my engine dyno at?". Or "What will my car run in the 1/4?". Just do it, but in THIS case, don't report back to us. Who the blink cares?

RACE ON!!!

Its also a pain since the seats don't recline very far.

But I do have other vehicles for that kind of thing

Must be because I let my youngest son take the Vette to the two Proms he went to - Each time he left me a note that the fingerprints were from the Valet and on one occasion, that the Check Engine Light came on on the Freeway, so there's a Technical part to this also.
