Crash Tests for Corvettes ??

I was wondering if anyone knows of a website that has info. on how various generation Corvettes stand up in crashes ?? What has been your personal experience if you or someone you know , had a crash in a Corvette ? If you have had experience...please state the year , coupe or convert. , speed ,impact location, and extent of damage to the car and driver ?

Thanks, Dave

I knew Corvettes could fly...but had no idea they could fly to a second story !

Thanks for the reminder to drive safely.

I think my favorite pic is the one where the owner is looking at his SUV humping the Corvette.

I'm not sure where that info would be and if GM wants it out
depending on th results.

However having followed the Corvette generation for sometime
now I can say they hold up real well.

I've seen various crash/accident posts on other corvette forums
and most people walk away with minor injuries. Then again I'm
talking about crashes that aren't the ridiculous kind with speeds
between 30mph and 70, not over 100mph.

The cars are toast, but the people live on
