The larger the mass a car effects the velocity in that you require a stronger engine to make it accelerate at the same speed of a lighter car. Having a higher mass, it will take longer for it accelerate as well as for it to decelerate. Two cars that collide that have the same velocity and masses will stop, while if ones mass his higher it will cause greater damage to the smaller one.
Momentum will be conserved (it always is conserved). If the cars also move at the same speed, and the collision is inelastic, they will both stop completely.
They would be traveling at the same speed. Two objects moving with the same velocity must be moving in the same direction and at the same speed. The reason for this is because velocity is speed in a specified direction. Another way to say that is to say that velocity is speed with a direction vector. It is a physical quantity with magnitude and direction. Two objects moving with the same speed could be moving toward a head-on collision. Or they could be moving along convergent, divergent or skewed paths. Not so with two objects that have identical velocities. They are moving on the same or on parallel courses, and they are moving at the same speed.
direction
If they collide head on, the wreckage will remain at the point of impact (real world considerations aside).
Yes. If in opposing directions, obviously. But if they were in parallel to each other, they could still touch and damage each others bodies.However, two cars moving with the same velocity cannot collide.

Speed - but NOT velocity.
No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...

Velocity is direction and speed so the vehicle do not have the same velocity

same speed , coz velocity is constant velocity consists of speed and direction...
direction
No. Velocity is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. If the velocity of your car was heading in the positive direction, then the other car is moving in the negative direction. The velocities are NOT the same!
