Another thing to consider is that Camaro roofs while strong enough - are not as strong as the Vette's.

As to GM engineers...well, not much difference in terms of seat design between them and Pcars, Bimmers and other marques imo. A good idea imo, as harness without a proper roll bar/cage is an interesting "safety" concept all in itself. And given your background i am sure you are intimately aware of its details.

Anyhow, congrats on the purchase and enjoy the car. It is a track beast and a pleasure to drive! Cheers!
Thanks, I am going to try the stock belts before making a decision.
