Notice the Rover and CLK. The both seemed to rebound a lot. That tells me that the impact energy was not absorbed well. I suspect the passengers got a few more G's as a result. The CLK also seemed to buckle behind the seats.

All in all I am quite impressed with the S2000's performance here.

a article today in the usa feb 26 about crash tests.. and how the suv's are stiffen up there fronts to perform better on the crash test. but there is a different crash test/new one that crash car together frontal only. and they said suv are more dangers than ever. and a 2002 chevy blazer vs a 97 honda accord at 40 miles front 100percent chance of death for the 97 accord and we have less protection then an accord
so watch out for those suv
