Now, it wasn't 110 to 0...  We were cruising about 115 when Tina fell asleep.  We fishtailed a few times before hitting, but I don't think we scrubbed much speed.  Hit the wall at a 45 degree angle, and it was rolling parallel to the wall at maybe 20-30km after the impact.  So I'm guessing 100 to 30 worth of energy was absorbed.

It was hard enough that our suitcases in the trunk bent the rear seatback forward.

The Focsu is a pretty safe car.  I know the WRX is even better.  But, it's too bad they don't have stability control on the Subbies.

Whever we go on a long trip, we feel safer in the ZTW with Advance Trac.

I'm curious... Have you 'tried' any emergency manouvers with the advance trac?

I know it's useless as tits on a bull for auto-x, but wonder if it'd make someone a better driver on the track (much like the evo chasing down a murcielago on a track)... maybe i just get my ass to a track and give it the one-for my self.
