JR, I agree with your post. I have my new 2002 ZO6 and have held off on buying and installing a new harness bar because of all of this talk about what will be allowed and what will not be allowed. I the the ASM bar is perfectly acceptable, I have this bar in my 95 LT1 and ran the 2000 Silver State and passed tech inspection. I mounted the lap belts to the seat chasis like you recommened and passed tech just fine. I did not mount the lap belts to the factory lap belt mounting points, it was just to much of a hassle and the lap belt mounts would not have worked anyway with the existing hardware. If you are wearing you factory belt and the 5-point harness you are pretty well protected in any case. We need a decision as to what will be allowed so people can get their new harness bars and belts and not have to worry about changing them because somone doesn't like them.
