An extremely stiff chassis is not safer (ask the widow of any dead Watson Indy type roadster). If the frame is too stiff and does not crumple to absorb energy, then the only thing that deforms and absorbs energy is the occupants. (See IMAX movie 'Super Speedway'). If anything, these Cobra frames are too stiff, and the engines do not drop down and out on impact. Instead, they end up in your lap.
