You are drawing conclusions out of thin air. Nowhere does the NHTSA dictate how automotive manufacturers must modify their cars in order to pass the new test, assuming the cars need to be modified in the first place. There is no mandate for side impact reinforcement, just revised test measures and a new ratings system. Mustang breezes through the current test and will do just fine in the new one. Like I said, the only likely changes are side head airbags for the rear seat passenger, which is minor to say the least.

in his defense, i did read something, somewhere, on a magazine, a longg time ago, about the mustang needing more structural reinforcements. i cannot cite a source for this right now, i will look though.
