    man I bet he feels so much safer since those airbags are there. I surprised the ecu didn't close the throttle and say sorry you can't drive that fast.

    Yeah, they launched the car so hard at the strip that it set off the sensor that tells onstar you were involved in an accident . I hate most of the new electronic goodies they have been throwing in cars. They cause more problems than they are worth.

    I worked in valet, and know a driver once drove a mercedes too fast around a corner causing the roll bars to pop up from behind the head rests. I'm guessing the same thing happened here, car thought it was going to be in a roll over, and deployed the safety features (air bags and seatbelt tensioner).

    That is why I dislike any of the computerized stuff in the cars these days. I don't want someone controlling how I use my car, if I pay for a car, I want to use it however I want.
    Your 1993 Dodge Stealth is one of 6351 that received VIN numbers. Based on the order of the serial numbers, your car was the 5212nd out of the 6351 that were made that year.
    Your car was built in the 3rd week of February 1993. Of the 47380 vehicles made at the Nayoga plant, your car was the 40537th vehicle to be created that year.
    There are 281 other cars that were made with both the same interior and exterior color. There are 779 cars with the same exterior color and 2316 cars with the same interior color.
    Note: The production order is assigned based on the order of the serial number.

    I don't mind the safety feature. But an "off" switch would be nice.
