Back when the Audi 5000, had ‘uncontrollable acceleration.’

A local Audi dealer had a cash $$$ offer.
He holds the brake pedal down, if you can make the car move; you get the cash.

Most cars can stop from 60 mph in around 3 seconds, not counting RT.

Few cars can go 0-60 in 3 seconds.

Yep. A lot of people don't get that F=m*a concept though. Tried that right here a few years back on some "throttle stuck open" thread and folks just didn't believe that brakes would outpower the engine.
