Camaro Safety Rating
How good is the Camaro's safety rating? Don't have any experiences crashing my Camaro so I wouldn't know but it seems like EVERY crash here on C5 the driver walked away with no injuries? Is the Camaro just that good or have I only seen 1 side of the story?

Camaro is 5 star crash test rated front, back, side and rollover; so its as safe as they come.

 Had a friend in the passenger seat who had a slight fracture in hit sternum but the doctors said that was from the seat belt so would have happened in any car. I hit someone while doing about 55 bc she decided to try to make a left across a major road and pulled out in front of me. |

It goes both ways the car is very safe , But the car as other cars does have limitations and there has been deaths .

These cars are heavy and are some of the safest cars on the road.
They have their own drawbacks (being heavy) and fairly poor visibility compared to most cars - but safety is definitely one of their strengths |

They are built like tanks! In 2011 NTHSA or IIHS (I can't remember which one) upped their crash standards and the Camaro was the only car to still ace it, without any additional strengthening.
