3-point seatbelts are designed to allow movement.

Take whatever system it was that left me stranded and thrash it. Whether that’s turning on every electrical system to make sure the alternator can push it, hard stops, hard starts, slaloms in the parking lot, or even just the good ‘ole “Italian Tune-Up”.

Gatorbacks where actually a specific tire made by either Goodyear or BF Goodrich, they stopped making them in the late 80's I believe but they were the factory tire for IROC Z’s
