Its interesting to see the F platform only lost 3 times. You think that you see more Mustangs on the road but that's because there was only 4 real Mustangs available. There was at least 6 F-bodies available almost every year.

 

Yup, everything was great until the 4th Gen came along.

 

I see great fodder a military incursion on a fourth gen board

 

It's a fact; you do see more Mustangs on the road. NHTSA/IIHS research shows that sadly, f-bodies are wrecked at about twice the frequency rate of Mustangs and have much higher death rates. Don't ask me why, but that's how it is.

"Between 1995 and 1998, the most recent data compiled by the IIHS, the Corvette slipped off of the radar screen only to be replaced by its Chevrolet cousin, the Camaro. The Camaro registered 308 deaths per million registered vehicle years, compared to a national average of 89.

The Pontiac Firebird was the second-most deadly model at a driver death rate of 267 per million registered vehicle years, also three times the national average, while the 1994 to 1997 Ford Mustang scored a 138."
