I have heard of them going through the windshield and killing the driver if they get hit a certain way. Same with deer.

When the last time your insurance went up without YOU not getting a ticket or being at fault of an accident? Pretty sure mines goes down every 6 months to a year of good driving.

Usually if you brake the front end dips and they are more likely to rise up on the hood. At power or off the accelerator they shouldn't still a chance but less likely

When the legs of the critter getting hit stand taller than the hood line, it may not matter all that muchwhether you're braking, accelerating, or just holding "maintenance" throttle.

I would rather not hit anything that weighs over 1000 lbs, no matter how tall it is.

Correct, just a matter of physics and the center of gravity of the critter.

Agreed. Fall came after delivery of my Z and my trade in from my SS. More than likely whatever happened was poor judgement on the operator but their is a significant difference in handling with the equipped tire on the Z. Unfortunately the equipped tires I would rate poor at best with cool temps.
