I’m confused why they went with a 4-point harness instead of a 5-point harness. It seems like in an accident you can hurt yourself pretty bad in those seats with no side air bag, no helmet (and strange whip lash dynamics without helmet), and getting sucked down where the 5th strap would be (
). I read that some driving instructors won’t get into cars with 4-point harnesses.
Also daily driving neck rubbing from the harnesses would be a pain, in addition to a swampy back and butt (
). I was considering buying these, but I’m going to play “wait-and-see” to get people’s opinions. I would get only a driver seat so that I could sit in the passenger seat and recline at the supercharger.
Are there any good spots for the harnesses without the cage? The cage weighs a lot, and It’s unclear if *this particular* cage actually improves safety versus a full custom cage. Daerik used alternate mount points with his harness for example. Just eyeing this cage, it looks like you’ll still get squished in a rollover.
Let us know what you think after a few months!
