I hate the CVPI from a performance aspect... it has the same powerplant that my Mustang GT has but my old bone stock 2004 V6 mustang could run circles around a CVPI. On the other hand... I've been in, and seen a few CVPI's that have come in contact with some pretty hard, stationary things and the car did what it was supposed to... protect the occupants. Sure there are crashes that just aren't survivable no matter what you're in short of an Abrams M1A2 but I'd take better chances of surviving a crash versus a cool looking car and 6.0L motor.
