Default Safety Question For You.....

With all this news about GM and the recall plus the issues of the 12 deaths that GM "may" be responsible for I just couldn't help but think "has anyone checked out the safety of the C7 in a crash test??? I know over on the "Insurance Institute of Highway Safety" they crash cars and give them a safety rating. The Government has a star system they use in crashes. I have never seen any tests on the Corvette. Does anyone have any input on this very serious topic???

The C7 meets or exceeds ALL federal crash test standards, that's enough for me.

IIHS is a PRIVATE organization with an AGENDA and as such I can care less about them or their findings.
