So side curtain air bags are also required now?

I dont know exactly what is or is not required, but I know they are becoming very harsh. Harsh enough to add a ton of weight to about every new car on the road that doesnt use expensive weight saving tech.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
