Heavy cars are slow. This is the same problem the Challengers and Camaros have. High HP moving a lot of weight.

i'd rather be in a heavy car rather than a tin can any day of the week

Granted. I was just saying.

The 2011 Mustang GT with it'* speculated 450HP moves that car around with ease. It'* also one of the safest cars out there with it'* built in safety cage.

Well if it was something small like a Lotus that would be a different story

Huh? I don't see where you are going with that.

^ right there

Lotus' are actually very safe cars as well, even though they are tiny.

Car'* that are meant to be small, light, and go fast are usually some of the safest cars on the market. Hell, even the Fierro was one of the safest in its day.

complete with the exploding gas tank upon rear end collision

I'm sure there a lot more cars than just the Fierro that suffered from that.

pinto, crown vic, few others
