Manufacturers would also need to be careful about body flex. I’m sure that window seals and adhesives provide a lot of give so that the glass isn’t stressed while the rest of the body flexes and bends when there’s a sharp shock.

The irony is that in the old days of the Bathurst 1000, cars were sometimes set on fire and rolled down the hill in the parks at the top of the mountain. My uncle used to go there in the 1970's and it was a wild time.
