when you get hit by a car in high speed you will feel the bump (and REAL cars aren't as fragile as people make them seem to be in movies and games btw!) before you hear the huge sound of twisted metal and carbon fiber. i'm talking about experience btw >_>; i love speeding...
also would like to note that when you are driving you barely hear the loud as hell noise outside from the crash, lots of the new cars designed to cancel outside noises that aren't high pitched (horns) , also a lot of cars of today are designed to be as safe as possible with a bit of sacrficing , even (untuned) race cars and supercars.
