They are designed to come apart for the sake of energy absorption and dissipation.
As long as the cabin is intact, there is no way you can question the structural rigidity of the vehicles without an engineering degree or experience in accident re-creation. Those pics of the Vette you posted show the cabin areas intact.
Pics of wrecked Enzos I have seen also show the occupants area intact. The rest of the cars fell apart like they were designed to.

You clearly said:
Vetts aren't all that structurally solid they tend to come apart in wrecks quite often.
But then again so do enzo's.

It says you're 26. We are the same age. How can you be so dumb? I mean, never mind the structural rigidity issue. I'm no expert, either. But you have no basic writing skills or simple comprehension skills to speak of.
Bah, a waste of breath like Gilgamesh said.

I said they come apart, Its not like i said they disintegrate. nor did i ever say anything about the drivers protection. I even purposely chose pics of the vets with the cabin still intact, god knows their are 100s of pics that show otherwise but that was not my intent.

I implied nothing, I could have probably chosen a better way of putting it, but i wasn't expecting for it to be taken that way.

You implied everything with that statement. Its not our fault you're too stupid to understand how writing and grammar work in order to get a point or idea across.

The guy in the Audi lived right?
And I've heard that looking how the A-pillar of the car is a good way to determine how it took the crash. To protect the driver, it should not buckle after a collision. Watch crash test videos of shitty cars, and you'll see it buckle in most of them.
