The impact coming at you at is travelling at 100 km/h also (overall speed=200kms/h) and once hit isn't going go to absorb much if anything .....

I'll supply the cars and a helmet! Just need someone to steer. For $100 anyone?? ..... would make good you tube!
Yes, But that is incorrect. At impact, it is the equivalent of of hitting a stationary object on both sides. both cars will be hitting at the same speed and cancelling out the fact that the other is moving.
