Re: 900-series bumpers 900 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Ben Fingland on  Wed Oct 10 03:53 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I was rearended in my 945 by a Camry a couple of months ago. I was at a stop light, he was going approx. 25-30 mph, judging by the impact. Me - slight buckling of the frame, bumper took most of the force due to the strong shocks mounted in there, and actually popped back to it's normal position!

Camry - practically destroyed, front end completely crumpled.

I then proceeded to drive 300 + miles up to VT from NY, with nothing more than minor exhaust noise. He wasn't going anywhere for a while after that!

Moral of the story - these bumpers are tough as hell.
