Crash Test MUSCLE CAR - Mustang, Camaro and Challenger

Because no one buys a muscle car to drive in the slow lane, the best all-­ around occupant crash protection is crucial.

IIHS evaluated 2016 models of the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang in the full battery of crashworthiness evaluations.

IIHS doesn’t typically crash ­test sports cars as they make up a small share of the consumer market. IIHS engineers decided to evaluate these models with optional V-­8 engines because they are big sellers in their class, and consumers often ask how they would perform in crash tests.
Insurance data point to high losses for sports cars. As a group, they have the highest losses among passenger vehicles for crash damage repairs under collision coverage, data from the Highway Loss Data Institute show. Collision coverage insures against physical damage to the at-­fault policyholder’s vehicle in a crash.

The Camaro, Challenger and Mustang all earn good ratings for occupant protection in a moderate overlap front crash and side impact. In the Institute’s newest and toughest crashworthiness evaluation, the small overlap front test, the Camaro earns a good rating, the Mustang earns acceptable, and the Challenger is rated marginal.

People don't understand that it doesn't matter how the car is at the end of the crash. It matters on what the occupants condition is.

I'm a bit biased to the Camaro, as I've been T-boned in one by an E-250. He was going about 45 through a red light and I was going the same through my green light. The side airbags deployed and I didn't even have a minor concussion after the accident. Thank you Chevy for not cutting corners in terms of safety, I'd probably not be here if you hadn't.

Look at how the left front wheels of the Mustang and Camaro moved out of the way upon impact, while on the Challenger it got lodged and pushed into the cabin.

Dang! I totaled my challenger pretty much like that and I still have my legs. Thank you God!

It's amazing how well the Camaro did considering it's the smallest of the three.

can vouch for the mustang. completely horizontal into a power pole at 45mph in the rain, into the drivers side door. not a single scratch on me, just a small bruise on my leg that faded after 3 days. incredible car

I’m guessing all these cars will end up on Craigslist as slightly used.

Seems like the only thing the Dodge's going to challenge is your ability to survive in it.

I can vouch for that camaro safety!! Totaled mine about a month ago very similar and yes, it works very well! Just a few bruises and seat belt burn.

[chevymusclelife]

My heart has never been so broken as it is right now watching this video.

Ford: tougher than a rock

Chevy: obsidian

Dodge: better dodge that crash

[ProdbyZeelanBeatz]

Just breaks my heart seeing such nice cars get totaled

[bimosalexandres]

only the camaro in which the A-pillar not bending and still intact after the crash... so i would conclude that amongs these three, the camaro is the safest~

[ilovegreenville]

Ford: built ford tough
Chevy: like a rock
Dodge: better dodge it or your dead

[nikthough]

So what do you do for a living? I crash brand new dream cars....
