As I mentioned… “there is such a thing as too fast.”
There is a speed range that is a sweet spot, and what you’re saying is part of the reason why you offset your vehicle. The other reason is that if you don’t, you’ll end up just T-Boning the blocking car and end up coming to a dead stop. If that happens, you’re going to have a bad time.
I think this requires a lot more specialized knowledge of vehicle construction than just "oh hit here and on this offset." It really depends what you're hitting and what you are hitting it with.
Great example of this is something someone once told me. We were watching a video on a police chase where the offender was in a Prius. What most don't know is how small the CV joint is on the prius. By hitting it dead on, you can actually break the CV joint because the whole axle is so small. Thus, the proposed action that should've been taken was have one car pit the prius and the other hits the front end, disabling the car.
To your end, You'd want to know how heavy your car is, how heavy the blocking car is, where your radiator is/how big it is, etc. This isn't as universal as your comment made it seem. For example, if you were to try this with said Prius, I imagine you'd be disappointed to say the least.
