When you see a wrecked late-model car for sale, you might have questions about what caused the wreck. Not so with this '06 Legacy! Yes, the gauges are showing a snapshot of- presumably- what was taking place at the moment the main computer got knocked out by the impact. Over six grand on the tach, 120 per on the speedo? whoa, where did the traction go? Thanks to LTDScott for the tip! [Craigslist Sacramento, go here if the ad disappears]

If that's the only damage from a 120 Mph crash in a NA Legacy then he
wasn't really trying.

Then again can a NA legacy get to 120MPH ???

Well, I find the title a little ironic. The rest of the story is
definitely missing. I could easily get my speedometer to read 120 if I
flipped my car. I could do it if I flipped it at 65. Just hold your
foot down on the gas and leave the clutch alone. Just because it says
you're doing 120, that doesn't mean you're doing 120. I've had my
legacy's speedometer up to 70 in snow without the car traveling much
past about 25.

Don't know about 120 MPH, but I've had my 2000 OB 2.5  NA up to 105 on
the speedometer and it felt like it still had legs for more.
