The throttle is computer controlled while the brake is purely mechanical which is powered by hydraulic pressure. For those who has tried drag racing using A/T will understand, that a powerful car would not move an inch while depressing the brakes and throttle at the same time. If a 500 horsepower mustang can't overpower its brakes, how much more a montero with 179 horsepower. Sadly, people would rather believe a spectacular ghost story without any scientific explanation than an opinion of an expert like top gear backed up with facts and evidence. In the video of abs cbn, its clear that the driver is not applying brakes at any point because we cant see the brake lights lit. Its clearly driver's error.

maybe not all the time that "brake is always stronger than the engine". yong nangyaring SUA sa U.S. involving lexus ay nakatawag pa sa 911 yong driver bago sila bumangga at namatay.. dahil "the car is out of control" daw ..

magkakaroon daw ng inquiry ang DTI..sana mag hire sila ng mga automotive and computer engineers from toyota and ford as resource person..kung may SUA ang toyota noon possible din na may SUA ang mitsubishi aside from drivers error..

Di pwede experts from competitors. They will bury Mistu alive if that is the case. Expert investigators must be independent for it to be credible.

Maybe yung may computer or mechanical engineering degree from Google University. LOL.

Sa akin lang, this SUA issue is more of a PR problem. Even if experts proved these incidents caused by human error, ang madla ay hindi naman expert in distinguishing fact from fiction. Still a mitsubishi fan despite them cancelling the evo. Hehe
