Ford Focus crash test at 120 mph

I wonder how it would have fared if the manufacturer didn't build crumple zones into the car?

I was reading something about that in regards to caged race cars (specifically rally cars) being dangerous on the streets because of that. The cage protects the passenger area extremely well, but because the car is so reinforced, it doesn't absorb as much energy in the crash so more of it is transferred to the passengers.

Though at that speed, I'm pretty sure even a car with cage would end up pretty compact.

120mph to dead stop in a fraction of a second... well not good at math but looks like 30G ? Don't wonna try on myself that's for sure even in a CAGED cars.
