Confirmed it was a 2002 Mustang from the Buffalo News article Viper posted.
And damn…
> The force of the impact with the utility pole ejected both occupants from the vehicle. The driver apparently was wearing a seatbelt, because investigators found the end of the belt still buckled into its receiver. They don’t know whether the woman was wearing hers.

other than the article, the underbody shot, the exhaust looks like that of a mustang with the h pipe, and the shitty stamped steel front control arms.
Wow, that sucks.

Yea, I was wondering what it takes to rip a seatbelt…
I know the mounting hardware is generally like grade 8 (at least in foxes) too…

I’m on that stretch of Transit all the time. I’m glad this guy didn’t kill any random people.
Another reason I am ashamed of the times in my past I did street race. Gladly I grew out of it rather quickly.

Not to be gory, but I’m actually surprised that the body ripped the seatbelt and not the other way around.

:word: Is it really that hard to keep it to the track ? I’m fairly certain if any of you crashed into my wife killing her, or someone else in my family while you were street racing I’d go away for 25+ years.

i wonder how fast you’d have to be going for that to happen?
p.s.-possible lawsuit against Ford, or the seatbelt manufacturer because of seatbelt failure? :gotme:
