Ford Mustang scores appalling 2 star Ancap rating

Everyone complains about 2 star safety rating.

Same people would give a left nut for a HK Monaro.

Slight difference, HK Monaro isn't a new car on sale in 2017.

Still faces the same dangers on the road.

True but the driver of said HK Monaro will realize it won't warn him if he wanders out of the lane, knows it has no ABS or traction control etc

In short, the driver will know the limitations of said vehicle and drive it appropriately......







hopefully

And that.is still a dumb comparison. Safety standards applying in 1968 and 2017 are light years apart
The Monaro met the standards it was required to back then. Comparing the 2 cars is not very clever

I'd quite happily give both nuts for a HK Monaro, looking at all the footage of the Mustang there is a hell of a lot happening inside the cab with the incar camera (the dodge looked almost as bad) and with the footage of the guy losing it sideways into the pickup you'd probably lose a hell of a lot more than your nuts in a crash, that is if you ever walk again.

I see a pattern here...
These cars must have shithouse handling, or really bad drivers, or both.

I know the yanks have struggled over the years to build cars that can go around corners but it seems now they are struggling to build them to even go straight!

But the Mustang driver will also know its limitations, the 2 star rating has been all over the new

Probably not, ncap isn't the only standard they use, in other testing methods/standards (they use) apparently it did reasonably well in those tests. Yanks don't watch international news because they don't care about anything that happens outside the US. Reality TV RULZ!!!
