@tdatitan awe yeah. I wish mine had the 350 in it, sadly just the 305. but it's better on gas with the cat punched out - and since it's my daily drive, its not to bad. I've never hit a deer in mine, come close, but not yet I have hit assorted foxes and small game, including a chevy aveo ;) ahaha. but that was a near miss. i would have felt bad for them but that would have taught them not to back out in front of me haha.

@airsoftmama A couple weeks back I hit a deer going between 85 and 95 in my caprice.. deer busted my headlight and dented my fender... hell drove my car about 300 miles before I took off the fender and fixed the dents haha Stronger than an OX and has a 350 Police Interceptor engine! OOOOO YAAAA Lets see ANY modern CAR or TRUCK hit a deer at that speed and require no more than a headlight bulb and Headlight glass

@stonee206 I know this is an old comment, but this isn't true. Yes the car does have 'crumple zones' but why does it need them? because it's so small and compact and made of less dense material it needs them. A big old caprice doesn't because it is made of steel, and there is so much space between the front bumper and the driver it's ridiculous. Not to mention the internal 'push bar' design inside of the car where the bumpers are. In a head on the focus would be desecrated by a 2 ton caprice..

Wow. A caprice in Europe? Is that rare?
-
@KillanatorVids oh yeah? ever tryed to crash with (not in) a Caprice?
-
Whoops, I didn't splice that right. "because when crash tested, these are the least safe vehicles on the road." was supposed to be after the part about big rig drivers dieing in collisions with 3000 lb cars. Sorry for any confusion. My post was too long and I had to split it. The first post should have stopped at "superior design".
-
Even if all this were not true, however, when comparing two cars in their "crashworthiness", it helps to understand this fact. The crash tests are against fixed barriers, so the test simulates a car crashing into another car of the same mass. Ergo, a large car with a relatively low score is still safer in a collision with a high rated smaller vehicle, because mass dictates who looses. If this were not so, big rig drivers would always die in collisions with 3,000 lb passenger cars,

The Caprice is one of the safest cars ever built, as multiple crash tests performed by the NHTSA and the IIHS can attest to. The 1991 models and newer, up to it's unfortunate demise, had even better results because of the addition of airbags to the already superior design. because when crash testes, these are the least safe vehicles on the road.
