What a sobering photo! I wish that some of the replica
manufacturers could incorporate new, safer technology into these cars, without compromising the look, handling, etc.
Anybody have any ideas for a retrofitted, more crash proof front end? There has to be a way to deflect the front wheel to tank impact. I know that the new GT doesn't have sill tanks, but has there ever been a car built with sill tanks, that has some sort of adequate tank protection? I could live with a couple of hundred extra pounds, if it would save my life. You'd need an entire fire department to put out a fire from that much fuel catching ablaze. Even with fire extinguishers and foam filled tanks, you'd still have a major problem, in such a crash.

There are some pretty slick engineers on here. Any thoughts
from the slide rule and pocket protector contingent?
