a safety rating is not a requirement for sale in the US. there are some safety requirements, but the safety rating is not a requirement. it is used as much as a sales tool as anything else. i seriously doubt ferrari has provided too many of their cars to be crashed. neither has porsche, but i would trust the survivability of a porsche over most domestic cars. so i would concur with the previous comment of "does it matter?" it seems like sales are easily outpacing production, so there is no real reason to send any out to be destroyed. as far as the crash bars go, ford decided they were a prudent addition, so for safety reasons, perhaps they should be kept. but the there are some who don't wear seatbelts...
