[QUOTE=Traveler,Oct 7 2004, 02:41 PM]As far as govt crash tests, www.nhtsa.dot.gov lists results for 03, 04 and 05 models.

 

The S2000 withstood my crash test pretty well.

 

Three coyotes hit in an '01 at 80 mph on windy canyon road. New front end and engine; I walked away with nary a scratch. Verdict: Extremely crash-worthy.

 

Here is a Vid with the s2000 in a crash test. Comes out with only 1 little ding

OMG!!! Look at that euro crash test!

The most dangerous part of the body is the crotch!

 

Yeah, I heard our car was pretty tough. It's great to have facts to back it up. Just out of curiousity, for those who have switched to a carbon-fiber or fiberglass hood, do you think that the new hood would negatively effect a front end collision? My own guess is that a negative outcome would occur. CF is super tough, therefore no 'crumple zone' built in like our aluminum hood. The fiberglass would seem to do better but not as well as the O.E. hood. Any inputs from the audience?

Take care.

 

rolled my MY00 about 6 times last december. cut my forehead when it hit the frametop. totaled car, otherwise i was fine. figured what the heck, got a MY04 for new daily dirver.

 

I love this site! I just used this thread to prove to my mom that the car I'm gonna buy isn't a death-trap roadster. This is something I already looked up and knew, but it's nice to have all the proof lumped together. Thanks guys!

 

Long story... but essentially, I ended up hopping a curb backwards and sliding sideways into a retaining wall. The repairs were expensive, but I walked away with little more than a stiff neck and a bruise on my hip where I hit the seat belt buckle.
