I'm not sure how tall you are but I'm sure a lot of people would be more likely to fly over the car and not make full contact with it.
I hit a VW golf side on at somewhere between 20 and 25 a couple of years ago and managed to go over it leaving my bike on the other side and a decent dent in the drivers door (Fuck yeah for arrospok)

Physics question: How much force would it take to knock a smart car over if you hit it high on the side?
In a slightly unrelated question, how much force can a 17stone (100and something kg) cyclist exert at around 30mph?
(In case you can't read between the lines a smart car pulled out on me and I think I might have been going fast enough to knock it over... Which I would willingly break my shoulder to be part of)
