1. I'm not into pissing contests but I believe fuel cells are specifically made NOT to rupture in an accident. Hence they are required in some forms of racing.
2. You may have every intention in the world of not getting in an accident, but tell that to the texting teen-aged driver who just piled into the rear of your car when you were stopped at a traffic light. Especially ones with miniscule tail lights and dim bulbs.
3.Yes there could be a metal firewall added and I believe Rustang owners actually do those things to make their car more safe. (Pintos and LTD's also were known to be fireballs) I'm not making this up. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/05/17/60ii/main47539.shtml
4. And yes, millions of mustang owners can be wrong. Carroll Shelby is on record as calling it a secretary's car. You can look it up.
5. Before I get blasted here about media stories, you can do whatever you want.
