Brian,
You should be very cautious about using a harness w/ out also using/having installed a roll cage in your car. Should you roll your 360-God forbid-the harness will keep you in a vertical position as the roof of the car collapses onto you, this will put you at risk of breaking your neck, causing you severe injury or death. Factory seatbelts and seats are manufactured and designed to break away, in the event of a roll over, to allow you neck/head to escape severe/fatal injury.
However, having said that, I have driven in cars w/ and w/out both racing seats and harnesses at the track, and will say that having racing seats -sparco, momo, omp, etc- in conjunction w/ a harness makes driving much, much less straing. Since your not fighting to stay in your seat, this does measurably lessen fatigue, and makes it possible to concentrate on just driving, rather than also having to worry about staying in place.

Ferrari offers, in addition to the racing seats, a racing harness option for the 360. (Not available in US.) Anyone have that?
I'd love to get a description of where the mount points are... I want to see if my car already has the mount points, but want to know where they're supposed to be rather than just ripping out my interior. Photos would be awesome.
Also, I'd love to hear if you like the harness... does it keep you in the seat well? Comfortable?
Thanks,
Brian
