Thundering- I won't argue with that point, and that the higher power of the F bodies makes them harder to handle, but I'm also taking into account crash testing on the Grand Am, I didn't find any F body crash tests. Also, to triple the fatality rate as in the Fire Bird is a huge jump to atest only to the driver, and that is just the Firebird, the Camaro and Camaro convertible are even worse- So in the F bodies for every average fatality there would need to be 2 more caused by the drivers with CR (cranial rectitus, aka head up their ass) and as many dumb drivers are out there I still believe that they are the minority.
