Physically speaking the test they did is nothing close to two cars colliding into each other with BOTH of the cars moving at 120 MPH.

By crashing the car into a stationary object, to get the impact that two cars traveling at 120 mph would generate you'd have to get the sole car up to 240 mph, wouldn't you?
true, was the first thing i thought too.
