I've heard that both the 911 and CGT fuel tank is mounted near the front of the car. Perhaps this predisposes the car catching fire on a frontal crash? I haven't seen any definitive NHTSA crash test ratings for the 911

I'm not sure NHTSA crash test ratings have much validity when you're talking about a car going at much higher than normal street speeds....
