Rather nasty if you've only got PR or SBPR Radials !
Since Ram Plate damage was dropped down to 1d+2/1d-1 , I've seen a marked decline in dedicated Ram Cars . In Divisions 30-40 and above they make a reasonable option . On the Road however , it's best on those designs that normally only ever go up light vehicles and Peds . A Road Bike with a CA Frames is okay , as any ram at 55mph+ is likely to kill it anyway .

Actually, I noticed the opposite effect ... at higher Divisions, Ramcars became more and more scarce. Too many vehicles could afford accurate firepower and dropped weapons that made getting close enough to ram a dicey proposition. OTOH, at the low end Divs (5 and 10), Ramcars could almost always get close enough to do their thing and roll away alive ... making them a more popular option.
