Does scraping the chassis of a Cadillac CT6 have any impact?

"It depends on the severity of the scrape. A minor scrape usually won't affect the car's performance. However, if the chassis scrapes against sharp objects at high speed, it may cause damage such as dents to the chassis steel plate or even deformation of the suspension system. The most vulnerable parts of the car chassis are the oil pan and oil pipes. If you notice oil leakage or unusual noises after a scrape, it may indicate damage. Minor scrapes and bumps are generally not a problem. Although oil pipes are relatively susceptible to impact, they are usually hidden and protected in the grooves of the chassis steel plate and do not protrude beyond the chassis level. Additionally, the steel oil pan is quite resilient. Chassis armor can be sprayed on exposed areas such as the vehicle's chassis, wheels, fuel tank, underbody panels, and luggage compartment. Once dried, it forms a tough, elastic protective layer that not only shields against flying stones and gravel but also prevents moisture, acid rain, and salt from corroding the metal parts of the chassis, thereby preventing rust and ensuring driving safety. An engine guard is a customized protective device designed for various car models. Its primary purpose is to prevent mud from covering the engine and to protect the engine from damage caused by uneven road surfaces during driving. Not all car models come with this feature, but owners can choose to install it if it's not pre-equipped."
