If you hit the barrier, you go from 40 mph to 0 mph (the barrier doesn't move). If you hit another car of identical mass going 40, you go from 40 mph to 0 mph, as does the other car. So, don't compare the smart to tests for anything more massive, because they are all simulating hitting something more massive than a smart.]]>Apr 29th 2008 4:32PM
