I read somewhere it was 100 mph or something like that. It sure crumpled it up.
On the video, the drive shaft breaks.....some force.

These cars are so UNSAFE might need to report to nhsta.....recall?

[Tilar]

Did they all get resonators? That one has them.

[GOTWING]

would it be cool to find this crashed car in untouched condition kept in a wharehouse all these years? imagine the attention it would get on display at the nats or Carlisle! brand new condition just crumpled up into a ball.

Only Hemi cars got resonators. With the exption of no door emblems, it sure looks like a Hemi car, but then again, the emblem between the tail lights and roof emblem are also missing. Could this be the famed XP car?

On a related note, to be original, looks like I have to paint my gas tank orange and #475 on my rear end, mufflers, gas tank & tail stripe.  


Edit: After looking at the video, I don't see the K-frame wedge hanging down either.

What? All this crashing of Chargers, and No 01's on the doors? The Horror. To think that Chrysler destroyed so many Chargers.

Well, at least there was some 'Orange' paint to make the destruction of all these Cahrgers seem 'legit'...

Great find, never seen that before. Hate to think how passengers would fare in a crash like that.

This is a new video for me.....great find!!   

Can you guys tell if there was even an engine in the car during the crash test?     The car collapsed like an accordion and I couldn't tell if a motor can be seen in the photos.

Oh my God!  

[Budnicks]

OMFG that car is 1/2 of what it was... damn

I'm sure that their worries would be no more.

Note to self:  Do not crash into a soild wall at 100 mph (bad on the paint)

I guess the lap belt is only to keep you centered on the stearing wheel.  That way whoever cleans up the mess knows where to look for you.

Haven't spotted the engine yet but I do see the tranny.

Kind of makes you think.

Doesn't have to be 100/0 (100mph into 0mph wall)
Could be 50/50
Could be 30/70
