From the Camaro High Performance Owners Manual Supplement;

Lap-Shoulder Belt-
On coupe models, the driver seat
belt has an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR). This feature is useful in performance driving scenarios where the driver wants to
be held in the seat more tightly to take advantage of the aggressive bolstering of the seat.

To use:
1. Move the seat 8–10 cm (3–4 in) rearward from the normal driving position.

2. Pull the driver shoulder belt out as far as it will go, until it stops, to set the lock. While holding the shoulder belt in this position, buckle the belt.
When you release the shoulder belt, the retractor will make a ratchet sound when it retracts. When the retractor lock is set, the belt can be tightened but not pulled out of the retractor.

3. Adjust the belt close to your body, and then move the seat forward 8–10 cm (3–4 in) to the desired driving position. This will hold the belt to your body even tighter. The belt fit should be tight, but not uncomfortable.

To unlatch the belt, press the button on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
^^^^^

I think this would be super useful on the track, however I just tried to get it to work in my car in the garage with it off and I couldn’t.

Has anyone ever heard of/used this?
