Oh but closure speed of the particle and car matters. Smaller particles can cause nice damage. Its simply physics. This is not nearly as simple and clean as alluded to here at all by a few posters lol. AMG has offerings for this. BMW cannot? Absurd. This is easily fkn mitigated.
As the chief engineer of Subaru said about a lack of increase in hp for the WRX-STi a few years ago - why increase power, the after market will take care of that! Thats the makers mentality. They know this will happen and it could be catastrophic of course.
