Both Mandi's Grand Am and my GTP felt like BMWs compared to the four different SVX's i've ridden in. Quote:
So what? Quote:

Compare the fatality rate for the WRX STi to the rate for the regular Impreza, same concept. Quote:

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.

GM dosn't have one car on the safest picks side, but they are all over the least safe picks side. These bastards all hate GM and just give them poor marks because they are biased against GM, it has nothing to do with GMs track record. Edit- those effing basterds even had the nerve to put the death trap Subaru Impreza on the safe pick side!

Now your really wasting your time. I've said this before - you can find information to support ANY opinion on the internet. I've been through link wars before, and it's never gotten anybody anywhere.

Your numbers make sense for several reasons...the F-bodies are much more powerful than the Mustangs...thus more accidents, and more of the weaker mustangs were sold than the weaker F-bodies. I think it's kinda dumb to look at sports car numbers...they are not built with safety as the first priority. Remember the Fiero? They didn't even think about safety until the car had already been for sale for two years. But then alot of cars were like that back in those days. Quote:
Edit: I should take that last comment back...i'm sure that Badonkadonk thing that you posted is probably safer than 90% of the vehicles on the road today. |

You keep telling you can find numbers, but you don't.
Any questions?

Edit- BTW I understood- you couldn't rebut my arguement, so you sidesteped the question and filled in something else.
