Although I don't know the basis for the information, I do trust the source..

So I spoke with someone in the technical dept at Simpson, who advised me "neither" the Hybrid or Hybrid Sport are "intended" or designed for use with 3 point belts, however
both are compatible, and recommended the Sport model if going between 6 pt, 4 pt and 3 pt harness cars, as the Hybrid has the piece going down the back that many find uncomfortable.
Also, interestingly enough, Shelby & Ford Performance is running their "Track Tour" program at Laguna Seca, Sebring, Road America and LRP to demo their GT350 and GT350R, and all participants are being provided a Hybrid Sport to use with the factory belts.
