<br /> Modern muscle car buyers looking for reasons to purchase one machine over another may not be as easily swayed by safety ratings as horsepower figures and zero-to-sixty times. Regardless, Ford Mustang aficionados and Mopar enthusiasts high on the Dodge Challenger now have a bit of forum fodder against their arch rival from General Motors. How so? The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/09/one-night-stand-taking-home-the-2010-chevy-camaro-ss/">2010 Chevy Camaro</a> has just been crash tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and it's only managed to earn a four-star driver and passenger frontal rating.<br /> <br /> For the sake of comparison, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/18/review-2010-ford-mustang-gt/">2010 Ford Mustang</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/03/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-dodge-challenger-srt8/">Dodge Challenger</a> each came away full five-star report cards in this test. What does it all mean? According to NHTSA's website, the full five stars means the is a 10-percent or less chance of serious injury in an accident. Four stars means there's an 11- to 20-percent chance of serious injury in the same scenario. <a href="http://www.safercar.gov/portal/site/safercar/menuitem.13dd5c887c7e1358 fefe0a2f35a67789/?vgnextoid=4ecd2bc586d7a1 10VgnVCM1000002fd17898RCR D">Click here</a> to check out the official NHTSA stats.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/one-night-stand-2010-chevrolet-camaro/low/">One Night Stand: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/one-night-stand-2010-chevrolet-camaro/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/01-one-night-stand-camaro_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/one-night-stand-2010-chevrolet-camaro/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/02-one-night-stand-camaro_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/one-night-stand-2010-chevrolet-camaro/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/03-one-night-stand-camaro_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/one-night-stand-2010-chevrolet-camaro/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/04-one-night-stand-camaro_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/one-night-stand-2010-chevrolet-camaro/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/05-one-night-stand-camaro_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> <em><strong><small>Phot os Copyright (C)2009 Alex N&uacute;&ntilde;ez / Weblogs, Inc.</small></strong></em><br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.safercar.gov/portal/site/safercar/menuitem.13dd5c887c7e1358 fefe0a2f35a67789/?vgnextoid=4ecd2bc586d7a1 10VgnVCM1000002fd17898RCR D">SaferCar.gov</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/08/four-stars-means-chevy-camaro-falls-short-of-ford-mustang-dodge/">Four stars means Chevy Camaro falls short of Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger crash tests</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sat, 08 Aug 2009 08:59:00 EST.
