“Hard to believe one could survive a 156mph crash in a Corvette.”

He braked to less than 130.

Relative speed 80 to 90.

Not like hitting a brick wall.

Yeah hitting a light car moving in the same direction (although much slower) is totally different from a NHTSA fixed barrier test.

Ooh. Ooh. I love relative velocity, center of mass reference frame analyses.

Itt wasn’t quite a brick wall. But it was close... an inelastic collision at 80 to 90 mmph.
