Men think they are more in control and even if there is unintended acceleration wecan handle it.
And therein lies the rub.
What no one has ever explained...
Right. There's much talk about it, but very little info contained.
One podcast I listen too said no engine made can overcome the brakes on the vehicle, implying that no matter what the situation, pushing on the brakes will overcome WOT. I've not seen anythink about this being tested, or any source with research.
Lots of questions, and no details or answers.
[Geeeze, I really ought to Preview now and then.]
were they talking about Toyotas in particular? If not I can think of dozens of musclecars that can easily overcome their brakes at WOT. And most old 60s/70s pick up trucks as well. Manual 4 way drums SUCK with a decent engine fighting them.
