Others disagree with this, but I refused to allow my passengers to use the harnesses that were mounted in my car. When asked, Shelby American will NOT install harnesses this way in cars they sell.

Had not heard of this theory before - in my case this (no shoulder harness) would apply to me, the driver also. I'm more afraid of imprinting the sunvisor hinges and windshield header across the front of my brain pan and being speared by the steering column than I am of a roll over.
So Shelby doesn't install passenger side, shoulder harneses in cars with a single roll bar? What about no rollbars like the 8000 series cars? Just lap belts?
