Default pic request: drivers seat

an odd request, can anyone post a picture of the drivers seat with the recline in it's most _forward_ drivable position?

I have a back issue in which I need a seat that is "very" upright, and many cars (such as 4th gen F-bodies) the seatback just can't be brought far enough forward that I can drive without pain (the seat back is too far reclined back even when it's latched full forward). I'm thinking about a 99 FRC but not sure on the seat issue.

Thanks!!

It would be better to actually sit in one and try it. Steering wheel is also telescopic so you can bring it close.

and with a sport seat you can get very upright and a long way forward. You also have 3 way travel on the adjustment including rotation of the seat pan.

I flew on ejection seats pulling G for many years so my back is not the strongest these days. I can get comfortable very easily and I've done 10 hr+ drives in the vette and survived the experience. I'd say its one of the most comfortable seats I've ever owned. You should be OK.
