NHTSA recently issued a final rule to incorporate a dynamic pole test into
FMVSS No. 214, “Side Impact Protection.” The rule will lead to the installation of new technologies, such as side curtain air bags and torso side air bags, which are capable of improving head and thorax protection to occupants of vehicles and that crash into poles and trees and vehicles that are laterally struck by a higher vehicle. The phase-in requirements for the side impact test are as shown below: Phase-in Date Percent of each manufacturer’s light vehicles that must comply during the production period September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010 20 percent (excluding vehicles GVWR > 8,500 lbs.) September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011 50 percent vehicles (excluding vehicles GVWR > 8,500 lbs.) September 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012 75 percent vehicles (excluding vehicles GVWR > 8,500 lbs.) September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013 All vehicles including limited line vehicles, except vehicles with GVWR > 8,500 lbs., alterers, and multi-stage manufacturers http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/portal/nhts...M_April_21.pdf

NHTSA rated a 5 star crash test side image rating in 05-09 model for front seats and the front seats have side air bags. There still is no proof here showing the 2010 Mustang doesn't comply?

I don't know how we can really argue this without going into performance and handling aspects. The exterior and interior styling is extremely subjective and you can't argue someone into liking it.
I know we know who the winner is in terms of performance but I think in this case you either like the Mustang styling and want it more then you want the higher performance of the Camaro. Nothing wrong with that at all. I think both cars are REALLY good looking cars and I'd take either one gladly, but for pure performance I'd pick the SS. |

You can buy the car and pay however much more and make it faster, or you can buy a different car for the same price and have it already be faster. This is just a situation where you prefer a certain aspect (e.g. you like Mustang's) over stock performance. Nothing wrong with it at all. How much does doing the Roush thing cost? |

It doesn't matter where you get the power from, just how much you can make with it.
