Safety through the roof. The car is heavy because of safety. The car has no T-tops because of safety. Heck I think the Gas cap location thing was because of safety but i'm not sure about it. What else am I missing guys?
We didn't put up with these things for just the heck of it... |

I couldn't actually find the Camaro rated on NHTSA's website... I don't doubt it, but where did you find that? |

the mustang also has a solid rear axle, smaller brake components, a smaller weaker transmission, among other things

Mustang has a 3 axis stablity system vs 2 axis (RSC vs Stabili). Still Stablitrak is very nice system.

It MEETS all all saftey standards mandated by the Federal and state governments. GM does it own safety crash tests and expects the Camaro to receive the highest ratings from these two agencies. Its weight may be a consideration in some regard in certain types of crashes. But again, there are NO crash test ratings released yet by either of the above agencies. |

The features that are mandated by 2012. All cars are to have stability control, side curtain air bags, reinforced side beams and reinforced roof structure. The ones the Mustang are missing are the reinforcments, and the side curtains.

The Challenger is a Defensive lineman and the Camaro is a fullback.
But we are all football players (I mean pigs) |
