Chevelle Control
why are new cars made to crunch?
New cars are made so that way when you get into an accident they crumple becuase it supposedly saves lives. In my experiance they do not saves live they cause more damage so if you survive the wreck it cost a fortune to fix. I've been in a couple of accidents two of them in old muscle carsthe first time I hit a gaurd rail at 40 and was left with a small dent and I got into a bad accident with my 67 firebird I was doing about 130 lost control of the car rolled it a couple of times before hitting a tree I walked out with a bunch of scrapes and bruises and some fractures but nothing seriously injured. a similiar thing happened to my father in the 70's with his chevelle and he walked out with minor injuries.I got in an accident at like 30 with my 95 talon and totaled the car and my stealth I hit someone only going about 8mph and needed to replace half the front end. I've had friends die in new vehicles but none in the older cars why would they change if it's safer to drive the older cars?
Crumple zones were made to absorb and disperse the energy of the impact, progressively slowing the vehicle as the impact progresses. This in turn reduces the stress the body experiences and lowers the risk of collision induced fatal injuries like a severed Aeorta....broken spleens etc...
Today's chassis are made to crumple at the front end, B pillars, and rear end.
Muscle cars were heavier and stronger so the objects being hit have to have given way....
Today Engineering has to balance safety along with mileage, reliability, rigidity, aesthetics etc etc...the buyers are demanding of many things so it has to be a given and take approach.
Driving an older car isn't necessarily safer, it is the model of the car that makes a difference...try what you did in a same year pinto....
Then try it in a chevelle, or mustang...
I think that a course in defensive driving would yield better results than any collision countermeasure...
