Reed intentionally gets hit for the purpose of gathering data from sensors on/outside the vehicle. Brandon wants to avoid getting hit at all costs. Makes sense to me why they are in the vehicles they are.
Isn't it more that storm-resistant vehicles aren't very good at outrunning? They tend to be heavily armored and low to the ground, with limited visibility. If your main goal is to avoid getting hit at all, I would think you'd want a lightweight vehicle with a lot of power, high clearance, and off-road tires. It's not really circular reasoning – the use-case dictates the best tool for the job.
Don’t give me that sensor BS. That data means nothing. He is a thrill seeker and nothing more. All these guys are. If they are spotting tornadoes and alerting the proper authorities they’re doing their job. Anyone who thinks Reed is helping by driving into tornadoes is as delusional as he is.

Brandon is nuts.
Reed at least has a vehicle designed to get hit by a tornado. Brandon is just in a regular road car.
