Mitsu GTO crash test video

[Jeff V.]

A car's safety is extremely important in factoring the cost of insurance.

I guess I wasn't clear.

Our rates are on the high side not because the car is considered "unsafe" but because the DRIVERS are considered unsafe. The insurance companies "don't agree" (IE the rates are high) because the people who own these cars are more likely to wreck them through poor behavior and when they do wreck them, the repair costs are high.

It's about demographics in our case. Not about actual vehicle safety, or perceived lack of same.

As far as insurance companies are concerned, repair costs are not high, because they'll almost always total the car out for even minor damage rather than pay for the repairs.

Never seen it, pretty cool. I'd like to know how fast it was going also.


Saw this after I watched the video.

The 3/s curse is that the car looks fast & most owners abused the snot out of it. Resale value went in the toilet due to repair costs...and the problem accelerated. Sad thing is, more people will cry over the last fox-body being sent to the crusher...than they will about the last 3/s.
