wpgspecb Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 found this while scoping wikipedia " Speed records On April 23, 1998, a Generation III Subaru Legacy set a new world speed record for mass-produced turbocharged station wagons with small engines (1600 cc-2000 cc class), clocking 270.532 km/h (168.101 mph) over one kilometer on Highway 10 in La Junta, Colorado.[citation needed] This record was previously set by a Generation II Subaru Legacy in 1993 at 249.981 km/h (155.331 mph).[citation needed] The original Legacy speed record was set between January 2 and January 21, 1989, with three Japanese-spec turbocharged RS sedans at the Arizona Test Center outside of Phoenix, Arizona. It broke the 100,000 km FIA World Land Endurance Record by maintaining an average speed of 138.780 mph (223.345 km/h) for 447 hours, 44 minutes and 9.887 seconds, or 18.5 days. Pit stops were made every two hours with a driver change and refueling, while tire changes were made at 96 hour intervals, or every 13,400 miles (21,600 km) driven."

fishbone Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It does not matter, imho, that it was the fastest in it's class. What really matters is that it hit just about 170mph on a 2.0 litre engine. That's pretty dang nice. If that does not impress you, how about this A 1990 Legacy was the first Group N car to ever finish the WRC Safari Rally. This rally is considered the world's most gruelling rally under the World Rally Championship. In 1990 the 38th Safari Rally had 59 competitors total, only 10 of which were able to reach the finish. The Legacy was the only Group N car able to reach the finish and was in 8th place overall. And how about that endurance part quoted by opie?

mwiener2 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 why do you need to drive a car for 18.5 days straight at 140+mph? That's the "Let's make up a category so we can win in it" category.
