If you are going to have a car crash, the SLR is probably the best choice with F1 like carbon fibre monocoque and carbon fibre shock absorbing cones at the front. However nothing can save you if you are going at insane speed like that. The rotation and deceleration alone will make you vomit out your internal organs. |
