For example. Potomac PCA, in their tech form, states that any car that exceeds PCA Stock and Prepared class mods (ie, would run as a GT class car) be equipped with GT class safety.

Thus, lets say you had a 1980 911 that came with a 3.0 liter motor. You wanted more power and installed a 3.6 liter motor from a 1993 911. That is a "GT class" mod. Therefore, you would need a cage, race seats, harnesses, Fire supression system etc. (Of course, enforcement is another issue, I am just giving an example of one regions take on safety)

So while harnesess may not be required now, it is conceivable that the OP could run with a region that has different ideas of safety than his "home" region.

Since the OP has the already fantastic seats and rollbar extender, and fire extinguisher, the next "logical" safety issue is harnesses and potential a Hans like device.

Be careful going "too low" as you will find the Computer sits under your seat and room may be a limiting issue.
