The Ralley 3 harness is DOT approved and has a FMVSS 209 label on it. So, the design principle is sound. However, I actually spoke with Schroth today and they said they do not recommend using any of their "Tuning" series (QuickFit/Rallye) harnesses in the Camaro. Not that they could give me a definitive reason why. I'm guessing they have not tested the Camaro seats to verify they can withstand the loading that could be imposed on them.
For a company that markets safety equipment, it's very disappointing and frustrating that they are not much more forthcoming about the very limited applications for their products. I've no doubt that this leads to a lot of people using their products with the perception that they are 'safe' when in fact they may not be. That the Rallye series should only be used in cars that have been tested should be made abundantly clear right in the descriptions of the products, and the list of cars that have been tested should be readily available. It's nowhere to be found, and they seemed to be largely clueless about that list when I asked them about it.
