Default Possible to lock shoulder strap?

Sometimes when driving 'spirited' I like to lock the belt to feel more restrained and not fly everywhere. I've got the lap belt to lock no problem, but is it possible to get the shoulder strap to lock also???

I just read this from "the other forum"...

If you pull the seatbelts all the way out while
you're buckled in, they ratchet back in to hold you
tighter into the seat.
I'm thinking about buying a pair of the C-G LOCKS, myself.

I'm not near my car at the moment, but aren't the shoulder and lap belts independent? If so I don't see how the C-G lock would work? Sorry if I'm totally wrong, I can't just to look.

I've tried pulling the shoulder belt out all the way and it doesn't catch. Maybe it's just my car, I guess I never tried the pass. side. Any advice still welcome.

Maybe different years of the C5 coupe or Z06 hardtop worked differently? I just heard of the C-G LOCK so I've got to look further into the product.
UPDATE: Nope, it doesn't appear to work except on the "single pass" type belts.
