| 190661 | 2003-11-10 10:56:00 | I need to know the crash statistics of a 1994 Subaru Legacy GT-Turbo Wagon. Where can I get this info from. I need to know -speeds -conditions -damage -injury & fatality or failing that good or bad. I have tried searching google for it but had no idea what to put or anything. Does anyone know what to search for/a site that contains this information/the crash statisics for this vehicle. cheers. |

| 190663 | 2003-11-10 12:57:00 | Sorry I don't Google well enough yet to help there, but you'll find crash tests of later model Subarus at www.ltsa.govt.nz/vehicle-safety/ancap/subaru.html Hope it gives you a start, anyway...maybe keyword links? |

| 190665 | 2003-11-10 18:55:00 | At 190kph I wouldn't be worrying about stats for specific models, take my word for it, unless he's a trained driver, has the car specially kitted out, and only drives at these speeds on a suitable track, he is in the far,far end of the red zone.( rhymes with ded). | Rod ger (316) | ||
| 190666 | 2003-11-10 19:13:00 | You want the crash statistics for that car.... in what country?? Put "crash statisitics subaru" into Google and follow some of those links. One is here (www.hwysafety.org) but I have not checked for the car and model you are wanting info on. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 190667 | 2003-11-10 20:05:00 | >Tell him to lift right foot when it reachs 100kmh it aint that easy... especially when 150 feels like 70! thats helped enough, but more would be welcome thanks again guys!;-) |

| 190669 | 2003-11-10 20:14:00 | > I need to know > -speeds > -conditions > -damage > -injury & fatality I think hamstar want actual road crash statistics first and foremost, followed by test-crash data if he can't get the real thing. I think some actual crash statistics are available on US websites. Add Ralph Nader to your search and see what that brings up. From what I remember of Subaru crash tests, the older models (pre 98/99) did not always fare well and the addition of a turbo to the equation is a warning sign. Unless your mate is a very skilled and careful driver, and the vehicle is in good condition vis-a-vis tires, brakes, seatbelts etc I would stay out of it, especially if alcohol is involved. A turbo Subaru can do zero to mortuary in around 15 seconds. :| Cheers Billy 8-{) |
