insurance much cheaper? no, me and 97blkz, both work for progressive insurance. my car is in the top 5 cars stolen the US. parts are more expensive to replace= insurance is usually about the same. because your car is classified as a sports car. a brand new mustang gt cost less that a brand new accord.

the four main rating on a car are:
liability: how much damage your car will do to another car.
comp: theft rating
collision: how much are parts to replace, how easily is it damaged.
injury: how safe is the vehicle.

actually, since im at work i just added a 2003 accord and a 2003 mustang GT to a random policy. the accord was a $219 increase and the mustang GT was a $202 increase.

this will give you more of an idea:
liability: GT=7, accord=9
comp: GT=9, accord=11
collision: GT=12, accord=12
injury: GT=8, accord=14

the accord is higher rated.

the reason the accord costs(from the dealer) more is because its more of a luxury vehicle than a mustang.
I would not have though insurance would be more on a Accord than on a Mustang. (I deleted my previous statement) What age group? cause I would think insurance on a v8 sports car for someone under 25 would be alot more than an econmony car(I assume this is what an Accord is considered). EDIT- maybe this is why I switched to Progressive?

Now now corey my statement was lets see how many civics could beat in the best of both worlds curves and staright aways! meaning a car with the abilty to beat me from Brandon to Sarasota with corners and starights. You need handling , braking, and top speed. We did discuss a full interior ,ac , radio etc.. Now there are civics that will smoke me in the qtr but I will beat down in the turns and other I will smoke in the qtr and lose in the turns, depends on thier setup. The bottom line is BOB W. Best Of Both Worlds !!! And there may be some that can do this but I would assume they have some big $$$$$ invested compared to my 15k car with $1280 in mods!

97blk...did you forget to read his first statement?

Its a general statement about the domestic croud. He's making you look bad!!

Damn I hate Imports!

How and the hell can you like the sound of that fart can shit 4banger? I have an SS Camaro, and the LS1 V8 sound awesome. What is apealing to you about these cars, do you not know that they will neve have the potential of a V8? Do you not now that front wheel drive is the least efficient way to put power to the ground? Do you not know that the reason that your spin the tires is because you have no grip from the 5inch wide tires up front, pls all the weight transfers t the rear of the car, putting little weight on the frontires, lowering the contact patch. Also, I know that there are some imports that are faster then me, but it is the losers that put 10 grand in their little shit car and are still slow as hell. If I put 10 grand in my car I would be runnig the 1/4 mile in 8 seconds easy, because I have seen it done for less then this. Yes tisis an attemted argument, so argue all you want, I am right.
Here it is since you didn't catch it the first time.

Here's a little 4 cyl that has invested less that you have paid for your car that is running 9.0!!!!!!!!!

What about these?

Here's just a few for you to ponder on.

By the way....my car can be capable of taking you both way...curves or strights. And I will have less than 7k invested car included.
