Interestingly, the IIHS recently released the findings of a study that showed muscle car owners are most likely to die in vehicle accidents and are more likely to be linked to other-driver deaths, too. While those behind the wheel of a smaller vehicle are also at greater risk, the IIHS believes muscle cars are greatly affected due to the way they are marketed.
“The muscle cars […] highlight that a vehicle’s image and how it is marketed can also contribute to crash risk,” said IIHS President David Harkey. “However, the deadly record of these muscle cars suggests that their history and marketing may [encourage] more aggressive driving,” he added.
So, if you want to use all the power from your Ford Mustang GT on public roads, perhaps reconsider and keep it on the track.
