    Woot!

    YouTube - 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala crash test (IIHS)

    Though, seeing how similar the two cars are, I had no idea the Impala had a better crash rating.

    If I'm going to hit something head on and I had to pick a car to do it in.... I'd choose the Grand Prix. I've done it before, very happy with the results obviously.

    No, the other car moved. Unlike the wall in the video. lol










    Oh yeah, and did I mention? It is still being driven to this day? It's only a GT now, but it drives just a good, if not better than it did when I owned it. Here is a few pictures of it right out of the body shop, sitting next to my white GTP.

    Not bad, I'm sure the sheet metal was messed up but the structural parts look real good. How hard did you hit (how fast were you/they going at impact)?

    Core support was bent, broke other stuff, and the frame was bent some, had to eventually go back and have it pulled and straightened but now it's perfect.

    Don't really know how fast the were going really but uhh... no comment on how fast I was going before I hit the brakes.

    We pulled it, and put it in the shop. Eventually ended up replacing a blown motor in another GTP with it.
