twoeightythreez Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 BEFORE AFTER __________________ 1976 280z-deceased 5/20/03 In retrospect that Z did really well for a car it's size. I've already seen much newer cars wrap COMPLETELY (as in the front and back ends are touching) around telephone poles. I don't think any car from that era would have done much better. (bigger heavier car would just have hit that much harder) A telephone pole impact is as different from a traditional side impact as an offset frontal collision is from the standard DOT 30mph crash. The impact area is much smaller on a phone pole, not to mention...it does not move. (If you're hit by a car most of the energy transfers to motion) speaking of...I have to find my pics of "before", scan them onto a computer (I got my Z before I had a digital) and then I can post them here, too. I also have one for the "wrecked Z" post. (1971 240 that lost to a foot-high curb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Looked like Red Rock for a second there, there's a nice road running through that park (of course the auto 6cyl mustang rental we had was completely gutless, but that's neither here nor there...). Where is Valley of Fire? Near Vegas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOOD LUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
