The reason that I asked this is that before the safety loops were part of the IRS plan I witnessed something that made me a little bit gun shy of the whole beefed up IRS deal. A guy that I knew decided to try out his jet boat engine in his Corvette. He let his wife run the car and it spit the Pass side half shaft through the floor, back of the pass seat, and was captured by the seat leather which was pushed out about 6-8" from the normal location. Very lucky day for them. This is why I asked the questions that I did.
