Default Going from a 94 Trans Am to 99 camaro to insurance, read this!

Ok so I sold my 94 trans am and bought a 99 z28

and according to my insurance company they have to charge me 50 dollars more due to the camaro having a poorer crash rating than the trans am...

i am a little confused......lol both f bodies? same stuff...

HMM that intersting. Maybe it has to do with the year gap rather than chevy vs pontiac.

I'm thinking its because the 99 is faster than your 94.

You would think the newer model, seeing as it has dual bags, would be safer..it is probably just the replacement cost of the car/parts.
