QUOTE(Scott Schroeder @ Apr 30 2003, 02:54 PM) Hi Jon - My car is pretty low and has fiberglass bumpers - I figure other than a wall, everything will be most likely coming up and over the top and through the glass! In all seriousness, I figure that without the tire lying down it will be easier for the nose to crumple, therefore absorbing energy. The tire laid flat is pretty rigid, so I would think that it would be more likely to deform the front firewall/gas tank area, actually causing more damage to the pedal box area. I hope none of us ever have to find out if this theory is correct or not.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) hmmm, i thought the spare tire laying flat was supposed to be a more "RIGID Crushzone" (is that an oxymoron?) the car is too soft and will crumple into the cockpit. the "rigid" rim and tire will eat up alot of the damage before going into the cockpit. this is my understanding...ill ask my physics book...or teacher <_< |
