What was mentioned is part of what bothers me. Crash testing is not required for this vehicle, nor was it done. It was thought out, designed on the computer, and sold to "you". Of course you will find more 'vettes that got jacked up, but here is a picture of my former roommates C5. It left the road after hitting a concrete barrier at 55mph and flipped 3 times going down an embankment.

He and his passenger suffered a few cuts and he probably had a code-brown. Both are just fine, and he has a few very minor scars from it. No broken bones or "serious" injuries. Lots of blood from what i heard as his scalp got nicked from the lexan roof that shattered (why I hate those removable roofs and refuse to own a 'vette with one). Head wounds bleed a lot. Anyway, RIP C5, glad he and his were in a safe car that had been properly tested.
