These shouldn't hit the chopping blocks. I think those are saleable cars. If I'm not mistaken it's the pre-production cars that will take the hit for the team.

They wouldn't put window stickers including Onstar in crash test cars

I think the testing is done much earlier....
The reason I was not sure is that we have yet to see a performance test of the SS, and we don't know the real crash test ratings. Just a little sick, twisted, crazy, idiotic, way to get your heart pumping a little more I guess. Oh $*it...NINE DAYS !!!!! |

In today's technology of CAD and CAM, they have already done the majority of crash testing.

All cars have to be tested. My Dad used to work at a place called Calspan in Buffalo NY and they had a large number of Crash Tested vehicles out in the back lot. Part of the work they do there. They are kept for years in case a question ever comes up. I remember a couple of brand new blue Trans Am's back there in the '70's. That was like "WTF is up with that"? Sad but inevitable.:( A small price to pay for safety.

What would be worse is -- what if the dealer called you up and told you they actually took your car, which was going to be delivered to you this week, and accidently used it as a crash test car.
