I'll take the extra couple hundred pounds of airbags and heavy structural reinforcements. EDIT: And the three-point safety belt, the tempered/laminated windows, the steering linkage that's designed to break on impact etc etc etc. |
As a classic car enthusiast, I have always hated that video...esp. As 59-60 batwing Chevys are a fav of mine, just behind Chevy's big bold 58s.
