    So the momentum of two focus's at 120 would be greater than the momentum of one focus at 120 mph.

    I haz confuz.........

    But srsly...

    We all knew if you get into an accident on the highway in anything but one of the newest car designs, you're probably going to die.

    Well technically it should be the same. A car going 120mph into a wall has about twice the energy as 2 cars colliding at 60mph. So 240mph = 240mph in this case.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    Assuming perfect and equal distribution of the force between both cars.

    yeah...all variables equal. I'd definitely rather hit another car than a wall, cause there's still a small chance of survival.
