You are absolutely correct! If you want to drive and enjoy the car with a friend, please add the roll bar. I inquired Shelby about adding it (even sending my car back to them to do it) and they said it would not be cost effective to add due to the finished holes that are present. I didn't ask if they would add it during a build. My point is that even adding one to a SPF might be a costly proposal.

Good luck.

P.S. I will add that the use of the passenger shoulder harnesses attached to the cross member in the trunk is more of a crap shoot concern. If you think you might roll the car, then obviously you shouldn't (and I'll say that a lot of the pictures show cars upside down). If you are worried about the front or rear impact and the passenger is "short" so that the harness attachment point is higher than their shoulders, then it would be "safer".
