Stay with me folks, I promise this is a tech topic, it just needs set-up.
Well, my specially ordered every-option 2008 black GT mustang dream car got rear ended the other night by a teenage girl driving her pappys 40k Audi. The Good news is the Audi was likely totaled and my Stang drove home. Only have owned the thing for 4 months.
Oh well. 'Dark Matter' happens.
But I found out yesterday that there is some 'minor' damage to the frame. They say they are going to have to 'pull' it. Now I am a good driver and have not been involved with a major collision for 20 years, and back then I drove a piece of junk I didn't care about.
Now my question is, and the whole reason this is on tech- is will this car still handle as nicely as it did when they finish bending the frame back? IE, will I have lost some structural rigidity? Ideally I'd like a response from folks who have either been on the track and needed 'a little work done' after a smash up
Also, an aside: Like I said, I have not been in an accident of any account in 20 years- what will this do to the resale value of my car?
