Head-on collisions

I'm curious if anyone has any anecdotal stories about results of head-on collisions of their XMODS with either another vehicle or a wall. I've run my texalium all-aluminum car into a transmission sans body that bent my front lock plate and suspension arms, and a head-on collision at full-speed with a stock car with an AtomicMods SS130 that also bent a lock plate (the plastic car came out OK). I haven't run any tests with stronger motors than a stage 2, but I'm curious what kind of damage folks have experienced. I'm getting a batch of heavy-duty chassis' in a few weeks that I can spare for head-on collisions with maybe a Fatboy/lith-io combo with full knowledge that I will destroy at least a body and a front lock plate and possibly suspension arms. I mainly want to gauge the strength of the chassis, but I think it'll provide an interesting look into the "worst case scenario" for a wreck given a lot of weight moving at a high rate of speed.
