Hello anyone, and everyone... This is my first post, I have a 99 cobra mustang convertible... and I must admit ... It's one sweet ride.... However ... I was reading some info on blueovalnews.com about Ford's Crash Test's, and was shocked..... This is a must read for all mustang owners.....am I always the last to know...lol
I would like other mustang owners thoughts on this......

I saw that the coupe was rated by the NHTSA as 5 stars on frntal crash and 3 stars on side impact. Verts obviously tested lower on side impact. This was on an 02'
I don't know about front impact specs and hopefully I will never have to find out.
I do know from experience that they will take a sh!tkicking from the side and still keep on ticking. Mine was hit by a small truck about a month ago right in the middle of the passenger door (looked just like the side impact tests LOL). Obviously, it needed a boatload of bodywork, but she was still perfectly square and the door didn't come TOO far into the car and stayed latched....if there was a passenger, they prolly would have lived. Better than many wrecks I have seen.
Thats the risk you take to drive such a wonderful car.
exactly...live a little son

Brother 03 Roush Supercharged lined up with a 69 Camaro they took off bro was winnin at bout 90 then camaro 110 pulled ahead ma bro shifted and pulled ahead again back left tire went out, at 145 bro died doing what he liked to do best
I had a front end crash about a month with a 2001 Mustang and it protected my son ( 12 ) and I. The car was totalled and all I had was a broken thumb. Bumper/frame and hood took the brunt of it. Both fenders were still straight. The seat belts and aribag did exactly what is was designed to do. Saved lives.
Mustang fails crash tests...Thoughts???
