Pretty damn good, I would think.
This is an open ended type of question. It is impossible to come to a defacto conclusion considering that there are too many possible variables to consider. Simple physics would dictate that getting hit at 50 miles per hour by a 2500 lb vehicle is twice as damaging as being hit by a 1250 lb car traveling at the same rate of speed. However, since the threshold of being dead is capable of being met in each instance I would surmise that being hit by the 1250 lb vehicle would leave for a better looking corpse at the end.
THEN, one has to take into consideration where you are hit. You can, in fact, survive a high impact car hit if you leave your feet at the right moment and "roll" over the car hood and take a back shot into the windshield to help absorb the impact. Stunt actors make a killing (pardon the pun) by perfecting the art. But if you are not expecting it, you would most likely have crossed your last road, partner.
I hope this was a sufficient answer.
