Since WHEN did a 4.6 litre V8 become a big block?? I guess if a 4.6 litre (281 CI) V8 is a BIG BLOCK.. I guess a 454 Chevy is a HUGE BLOCK and a 500 Caddy motor is just unmeasurable haha this shows facts must be done by a group of first year auto mechanics students in high school!

? Foot pounds is NOT FORCE!

[ZagdaGreat]

@SippRider89 Kinda' like someone calling an internal combustion engine a "motor."

[mrwashur1991]

to ensure our own safety we're satnding half a mile away...really? half a fucking mile? its a god damn car crash not bomb..could be 20ft away and be fine...might get hit with a few pieces of metal and glass..

First the 1959 Chevrolet Impala now this. =(

@d46512

I know. These are probably the same folks who kant spell coreckly with there limited edumication, an r knot abel to figyur owt that wear just not aloud to queschin there nollage.

There are so many trick shots in this video and questionable methods being carried out...just the integrity of the old caddy is in question enough!

[SirKaleidoscopeSkies]

I love how they used absolutely no scientific method in this experiment, and based all of their observations on assumptions.......

[ladskjlasdj]

She is hotttttttttttt

This is just stupid. I own a 1963 Cadillac and I used to have a 62. First of all the 62 Cadillac does not have a big block in it and neither does the 2002. Also the 62 is almost 18’ long, not 15’. Something is also wrong with the seat in the 62 and I wonder if the lap belt was even used. And of course the 2002 is safer. It has better seatbelts, airbags and its designed to withstand a crash.

4:27 look closely and u see the seat in the old caddy is not even bolted down. The dummy just flew forward. Give the dummy a proper seat and a seat belt that actually doesn't tare off on impact and your looking at a very even match up.. or maybe not one at all.

@SippRider89

I know its not staged...But looking at the video again yeah I can see the old car was more destroyed than the new one...It looks like the front of the frame on the 62 was bent upwards...Ouch... It would be a lot safer to be in that new one for sure...with the crumple zone and airbags... At least you would live through it if everything did its job correctly...

[SippRider89]

@scott93257 if you think that 62 survived the crash better.. you need to rewatch this video several times.. ALSO look up the National Institute for Highway Safety's crash between a 1959 Bel Air and a 2009 Impala if you think this is staged or fake...

[SippRider89]

@DJzSith wow... never would have guessed that... smh.. some people lol

[SippRider89]

@scott93257 NASA would have to figure out that classification it's on a much larger scale than I can fathom hahaha!

[McCaterham]

man they ruined aa original classic caddie.....how sad

[KNGarver]

The only bad thing about the old car is the seat detaches.

[DJzSith]

@d46512 ? You are retarded!

[DJzSith]

@SippRider89 I am no expert but I believe that big block and small block does not reffer to its capacity bu to the actual size and type of the motor block.

[catalinaumbert]

@bestamerica That's funny! Iguess I should have used "someone". Sorry! English is my third language...I'll be more carefull.

[bestamerica]

catalinaumbert,

okay thank but dont use a word  - YOU - on me

[bestamerica]

th3Analyst,

'

okay thank explain,,,

dont use a word - YOU - on me,,,

let explain about this car,,,

old car is better stronger than new car,,,

old car is like a real strong tank and cheaper,,,

new car is like a plastic breakable toy and higher RIPOFF costy

[spk9grsch]

when the hell did 4.6 become a big block? thats a Very small block in my book

[th3Analyst]

@bestamerica You don't get it, do you? Newer cars are designed to crumple and absorb the impact, while preventing intrusion into the passenger compartment. The car is smashed, but you survive. In older cars there's no crumple zone; the passenger has a much, much higher chance of dying even if the car still appears to be in one piece.
