Bah... copper ain't light.
Cut all that out, too.

What did you eat for breakfast?
If it wasn't "Chocolate Super-Lax," it's possible to loose some weight there.

Is this still within any racing regulations with all the original stuff removed?

What does the computer think of all this?

Are you concerned with crumple zones on these cars?

I was looking at ones in the junkyard and can't figure out exactly where these zones are, and have no idea how to reinforce the front and back from... crumpling in a hit.

Wow. That video is very convincing. No crumple zones means everything crumples!

I was thinking about the Caliber bouncing off, instead... but, maybe I'll change my mind and just call it a loss (in the interest of safety) in this case.

Thanks.

Crash Test EuroNCAP Dodge Caliber (2007).

i thought i would post a new thread of the Euro test crah that the Caliber got 4 stars for..

I'm amazed at how fast those side airbags inflate. POW! - You're safe!

In a front collision, where does the engine go? Under the car? I just realized the almost all the Calibers in the junkyard with front crashes have no engine.

I was thinking someone just took them, but an wondering if they fall off in a crash.

Better than ≈ Less failed? 😆

That roll cage, is that welded inside the car? Or assembled outside and Tetris-ed in somehow?

 

[672aq]

I'm not sure what I'm looking at. But, this is all welded inside the car? Take out all the flammables first?

I've seen cages that are inside stock-looking cars; ie, with dash, carpet, seats, etc. And wondered how cages get into cars.

I guess bolting on steel pipes wouldn't work (for my non-race car).

What's the white paint for?
