i wonder who this "independent" 3rd part company was. is it just me or does the subaru appear to be going just that little bit slower on approach?

it shows on the video
United States Auto Club

where it came from
http://www.subaru.com/engineering/safety.html

they're doing teh same speed.
the time from the first set of hats to the second is the same
Most of the others "appear" faster as they are not moving directly towards the camera (in the direction they should be going)

Yeah, im a little skeptical about these informercials. Sometimes these kind of "experiments" they can alter other attributes that can change results favouring one over the other, eg. tyre pressure, etc. I'd rather see a proper experiment with a g-force meter, pre and post tyre pressure checkings and speedometers and stuff.

you would like to think that those things are set as per factory standard, they are brand new cars after all
