But yeah, I was thinking about this video. The car really held up well for having no cage. The driver was VERY lucky to not get seriously injured. If that car had a full cage, race seats, 6-pt harnesses, and he was wearing a Hans, I would bet he would have walked away instead of spending 2 days in the hospital.
With the incar footage and the logs from the Dtec i would say any day he was north of 140. Many many intresting things came to light from that crash on how the car held up, how it transfered energy from impacts. To have a rear impact and rolls that hard, reason why family members seem to getting Subarus now.

*4pt belts, and racing seats were in the car. His major injury hyper extended elbow could have been helped had the car had a window net*
