When crashed into a fixed barrier at 40 mph for the small-front overlap test, only the Camaro received a "good" rating. The Mustang earned an "acceptable" rating, which the Institute engineers said was the only test holding it back from earning the "Top Safety Pick" rating. The Challenger dummy received such extensive damage that its foot had to be removed in order to free it. As a result, the Challenger received a "marginal" rating.
