Good point. The trajectory of the car resulted in head-on (and "tail-on" ) contact with the ground, so the front end and back end aborbed most of the energy of the impact. If it had landed flat on the roof, I wonder if the roll cage would have held up? Certainly without it the results would have been considerably more grim.
I think if you crashed it that way 9 more times half the time he may have walked away the other half not so much. Probualy more luck of how the car absorbed the impact than anything. Crashes over 150mph cause internal organs to smack around and bleed, the cage might hold up being slammed to the ground over 200mph on the roof, but I doubt the drivers various inside organs would
cars like the Enzo and CGT ate desinged to split in half just like F1 cars to absorb the blow. When I had the engine out of the CGT you could clearly see where and how the CGT was suposed to, pretty cool
Im sure the ferrari owners watched in horror from the sidelines waxing their cars and discussing how such a thing never would happen to them with their racing heritage
I know for a fact that the model with the GT500 on the page will be attending . As for guys with "bolt ons", there will be a few but I'm sure they could run either of us hahaha! Let me know if you'd like to join in on the fun! There are several stops that we'll be going and I'm sure we'll all be going for lunch and a nice cruise after.
I'm more interested in the girls with bolt on .....
