To be quite honest about it, the meter almost pegged itself on that one also. I still have a hard time believing that modern day brakes, built to be 5 times more powerful as the accompanying car’s engine, failed to stop that or any car.

So yes, sadly I do doubt the facts of that case.

I doubt very seriously that my car would stop if it was at full throttle. A big part of the vehicles stopping power is the engine and transmission

Brakes can always overpower an engine from a dead stop trying to accelerate. When already traveling at speed and the engine goes full throttle, it is much more difficult to slow the vehicle.

In the case of the 2008 Prius, the gasoline engine has relatively low horsepower and torque, so I have a hard time believing the driver couldn't slow it down IF there actually was a stuck accelerator.

Now it has come to light that the gummint pukes and Toyota engineers have found that they couldn’t duplicate this frauds performance in his car. I thought from the get go this was a fraud....and now the more we learn of it that appears to be the case. Sort of like the 11 year old that flew all the way from Seattle to Washington to tell Congress her story about how her Mother lost her insurance and if the zero’s and the dumbcrats health bill would have been in place her Mother would be alive today.....
