I just don't see the physics in a Camaro flipping a van?

Next they'll probably want them for smashing storefronts and dragging away ATMs.

Power plus mass X's speed... and a bit of leveraging

I feel so safe driving my Camaro. I feel like I am in a tank, GM did such an amazing job building a solid platform which can withstand hell, especially in front end collisions.

I watched Taken 3 yesterday, and I think it's possible. In the movie, a Porsche 911 rams through a fence, then into an airplanes wheels, ripping it right off the plane. When the camera pans back, the Porsche doesn't even have a scratch or any bodypanels dented. Either it's the baddast 911 made or that Adams Americana really resist more than water.
