Most other cars also have crumple zones too. Still what do you expect at those speeds? Quote Link to comment
darc510 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 what a great way to begin my morning...holy crap! Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah, but at least the rear passengers will be able to keep their feet warm on the engine while they die , you know, if it was to happen in the winter. And they laugh at Dwight Schrute for sitting in the back. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 i wager that there are very few things in this world youd be safe in when hitting a wall at 12. that said, the host was acting really dramatic about the whole thing, i much prefer adams response Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Wouldn't matter if you sat in the back. Kind of like when a tank runs over a bomb. The concussion blast scrambles everybody inside from the inside out. You look fine, but you're dead anyway. And 400 gs is way beyond human threshold. Brains are like ping pong balls inside the skull at that point. And yes the host was way too dramatic. It does emphasize the dangers of going really stupid fast and hitting something though.

datzenmike Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Datsuns don't go 120 and for sure solid concrete walls don't. So the only other thing is another vehicle and they aren't that solid. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'll bet any of you that if you pounded a Datsun (anything) into a concrete bridge abutment at 120 it would look three time better than that POS Ford Fuckass. You'd still be history but they were not built to absorb and would hold their shape better. Your family could still sell the rear two doors, rear window, trunk lid, axle and taillights/bumper.

Jester Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 The last three or four seconds of the Myth Busters video was too cool. Look at it again and watch the back of the car. The rocket sled travels 3/4 of the way through the car before the rear bumper even starts to move. HOLY SHIT that's fast. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I want my Datsun to go the speed of that rocket sled, AND still be able to slow down! No really, that would be awesome! :blink: Quote Link to comment

Hardwyre Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Darn women drivers. I love the complete irrelevence of your statement. +1 lmao, i could just imagine haggling with the cheap bastards on this site over the price of my kids coffin Most likely be someone from Ratsun. "Ya, I know what happened... but come on, I do have to scrape little Suzy off the inside of the bumper... and that faint, distant screaming will never come all the way out of the metal." I want my Datsun to go the speed of that rocket sled, AND still be able to slow down! No really, that would be awesome! :blink: Portland to Seattle in about 20 minutes? Fuck yes. can you say extream big brake upgrade "My brakes are powered by a black hole, how about yours? Steel discs? Fucking barbarian." Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 count me in on the rocket datsun, as long as i can still run with my 13 in. steelies, cause im a cheap ass when it comes to gas Quote Link to comment
