overly restrictive seatbelt

I find myself wishing ht 370Z seat-belt locked like the one in domestic cars. Would be nice for spirited driving/track use. Seats are great, seatbelts are crap.

No, I wished I had a seat-belt that held me into the seat like the one in my Z06 and my friend's Challenger. Not that I want a Z06 or Challenger, or I would have one.

I have issues with the belt like that once in a while when checking my blind spot. However, it's a tiny annoyance imo.

This is true, but the standard of fitness based on height/weight is ludicrously inapt. At 180 lbs, you could be 70% body fat or 20% body fat. height/weight takes none of that into account.

Was disappointed at my first and only autocross event last summer because of this. Someone suggested it and was all excited I'd be like a pro, and then seatbelt fail!
