Momentum and Kinetic Energy Question... Which object will produce a greater damage during a collision?

Compare the Momentum and the Kinetic Energy of an automobile weighing 900 kg and moving with a velocity of 30 m/s with the momentum and kinetic energy of a projectile weighing 30 kg and moving with the velocity of 760 m/s. Which would produce a "GREATER DAMAGE" during any type of COLLISION (elastic & inelastic) and WHY?
