SKY and Solstice get 5 stars in rollover test

http://www.smartmoney.com/bn/on/inde...1715&nav=pf_hp

Here's the official report:
http://www.safercar.gov/NCAP/Cars/4087.html

The "Static Stability Factor" of 1.65 appears to be extremely good! I think we can all vouch for that from running through twisties.

4 stars in the frontal and side tests as well.

A French auto writer died by rollover two weeks ago:

The French guy went off a cliff that isn't a roll over thats a plummet over......Maverick thinks that once you go over a cliff its heads or tails as to how you end up at the bottom.

Pretty much all the roadsters have similar SSFs and 5 star rollover ratings.
