I suspect the windshield could take a pretty good strike. I nailed a cormerant at about 90. It came up over the deck and hit the windshield on my daytona dead on center , skipped over the top edge and went between the back seat pasengers thankfully. The beak on those suckers would surely penetrate your skull nicely.

zero damage to the windshield but a good load o bird poo streaked thru the interior. :(

Have Jimmy's folks run a bird-strike analysis for ya. ;)

Jimmy's Folks???

I had a bat smack me in the face at about 40 a few years back. Wasnt that pleasant. I found it dead on the back seat the next morning

I don't think a pterodactyl could break the material they used to make my 1/4 canopies. That stuff is SOLID.

I think the answer would lie in wether you hit the bird at 143 MPH or 79 MPH... :boat:

Hey, and some gear set numbers would be handy for my old drives, when you or Brad get a chance...
