    ive said it before , and ill say it again in this thread........

    the z32 300zx has a week point in the targas models at the join between the windscreen and the fron of the targas........in nearly every major accident ive seen with a z32, this is the point where the passenger cabin deforms, you can even see it move in the video posted above....

    in martiniz's recent rollover, the same point is what failed when the car ended up on its roof, the windscreen frame collapses and comes in towards the driver, which is obviously bad news........

    I noticed the way the roof line deformed as well. A little concerning..

    its MEANT to deform.
    the alternative is the steering wheel deforms your head from the jarring impact.

    Steering wheel mechanisms are meant to collapse.

    our car has a very good crash test rating compared to many so called "safe cars" and some of the zeds dont even have airbags xD
