100 mph - 74 mph = 26 mph impact. The real story is at some point the Accord rolled over but everyone survived.


I'm betting 90% of that damage is not because of the impact of the truck but because he spun out at high speed and ended up rolling.

I'm not sure if it says more about the Accord or about how an F-150 caused such carnage w/o disabling it. Built Ford tough!
Look again. The only damage directly caused by the truck is the rear bumper and bent trunk lid.

No, he's absolutely right. For example, look at Saki's post. The impact was more or less around 26mph. The damage to the Accord was from the Accord v. the Ground, not Accord v. F150. The F150 survived a 26mph impact. Now, while that is rather surprising, and well above my expectations for it, it's not really something to get excited about.

Go run your S2000 into another car at 26+ mph and see if you can drive it away fast enough to escape getting caught.

Are we comparing brands, or tiny roadsters with protective collapsing frames v. trucks?
