Safety worries - brakes and seat belts

Hi have not been here for a while but I just helped someone out so hoping you guys can help me out.

BRAKES
I haven't owned a Corvette or a 20 something year old car before so I dont know how the brakes are supposed to be. I don't feel a good or strong "bite" when I press down hard and they dont stop the car very fast. I had the brake fluid changed last week and it improved the braking but not the "bite"

Is this normal or is the braking supposed to be as good as more modern cars? I have a 10 year old 4 door with good brakes nothing sporty and the bite is a lot better and braking is stronger.

BELT
I noticed the belt does not lock when I yank it hard. Someone said it does not work like modern belts and to test it from a hard brake. I have not been able to do that because of the braking I just mentioned. Anyone else know much about the belts?

I have a 95 with stock brakes that were replaced like 8,000 miles ago. Thanks for the help
