were they talking about Toyotas in particular?
No, it was said unequivocally that there wasn't any car that couldn't overcome WOT with their brakes.
So not just a few muscle cars with giant-ass brakes, but apparently every car. This came around the discussion of the Lexus accident in Southern CA that made the headlines and started this whole thing.
Their implication/my inference was that they were not differentiating between vehicles at rest and at speed.
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.
There was no reference to time as in new or older vehicles, but it was tossed out as some kind of universal truism.
You know, the kind we see here from time to time, however rare.
