Look, no OTSR's. Looks like they adopted the restraints from Mourer's X-Cars

Thats a big thing

No, its just the same type of restarinst as the S&S Sky Swat. http://www.screamscape.com/assets/image ... er08_w.jpg
It uses a lap bar, and the top of a OTSR on the shoulders.

Ohhh!!I see why its hard to notice, the restraints are VERY low when locked all the way down.

Yea I knew the test model had those restraints, but I didnt expect them to lock so low. They blend in with the rest of the car.

Good catch.
