10 bucks says the new Mustang GT has a higher crash/cars produced ratio than the CGT.

CGT's are 99% of the time bought by people who had the sense to make the kind of money to be able to buy them, so I assume they have the maturity not to drive like idiots (I know, that's a stretch).

Versus the Mustang GT that's being bought for the 17 year-old down the street from you as I type.....

yes, but making the kind of money to afford a CGT often comes with a lot of ego which is not a good combo with this car.

Also the one mentioned in this thread on 6speedonline.

That's 7 C-GT's that I know of, out of a possible 750+ C-GT's that have been sold worldwide. Is that a high ratio? Does anyone know of more?
I think you missed this one - the black one. The story is this wreck happend within 15 minutes of being drivn off the dealer lot! The tab on this is in the $180K range. I saw it a few weeks ago, it is pretty much fixed - three months llater.

Rich

PTEC had already pointed that one out for me. I knew about it already from internet trolling, but for some reason I had skipped it as I was downloading pics.

Right, which is why I said this:

Qualify everything, that's my philosophy.....
