New I'd like to see that tested
On a test track, lock the throttle WFO. After it tops 100mph stand on the brakes and see which pedal wins. Unless you're in a top fuel car, I'm pretty sure the brakes will have it.

Unless, as Ashton was suggesting, there's not a physical connection between the brake pedal and the disks. Does anyone know if the brakes are "fly-by-wire" too?

New heard some chatter on npr about this
there is electrical interconnects between throttle brakes to where a chip determines which one is accessed when. What was explained that although stomping the brake seemed like there was no brake it could have a 5 second delay. So stomp on the brakes, no reaction then go onto trying other things MAY have been what has happened
