Ok quick post before lock.

Yes its very sad, they started out with 2ndgens, no big loss then moved to 3rdgens about a year ago. I guess they can pick them up cheap enough and slap premade rollcages in them.

You know I'd feel much safer flying through the air in a 3rdgen then a rustang.

I noticed that too. Everytime it involves wrecking a car its always a 3rd gen Camaro. Its because they are cheap, rwd, somewhat performance/sports cars that have many cages available for use.

Couldn't have said it better. In the eyes of the auto world 3rd gens are about as cheap as they come. That is why a 21,000 mile RS that has never seen rain is only worth $1100 in the eyes of an insurance comapany.
