While what you say might be true (probably is about side impact, I wouldn't know!), surely you'll agree that a car's body panel, plastic fiber glass or metal, isn't what saves you in a car accident!
Considering Corvettes (C5 and up) have a pretty decent (tube?) frame, I thought it would do quite well especially in frontal and rear impacts, but also thought side impacts would be at least decent :( What usually happens when a side impact occurs? Does the frame collapse in any way? Or is it just a matter of not being so well kept in place due to the seats, and then getting injured (or killed) with sudden jerking of the head?
Oh, sorry OP for the thread hijacking
But hopefully it's somewhat relevent to babies in a vette
