Re: MIKE Hunter's smal car v large car thesis is correct

Of course not, what I am saying the manner in which cars are made today to meet NHTSA crash and EPA fuel standards, at a price that customers will pay, the larger the vehicle the more room their is for us to build in better crash protection to reduce the terminal speed and the safer in which properly belted passengers can ride.

Manufactues could build a vehicle in which one could survive a 100 MPH crash but hardly anybody could afford to buy it, or want to buy it or ride in it, if it did exist.

You are free to believe whatever you wish but one can not defy the laws of physics. If the resulting terminal speed is too high, no mater what one does to restrain the properly belted passenger, he will die when his organs hit his skeleton
