Some of the biggest cases against GM surround the part failing during evasive maneuvers (Added stress onto the ignition).

Have you ever lost power steering mid corner before? Power brakes during an evasive maneuver? Lost airbags mid-crash? These weren’t all “Oh they had 17 keys and a 0.5 lb figurine on their key ring” scenarios...

Back in middle school my dad was driving his 2500 diesel. We were driving through New Mexico trying to rush to a hockey tournament and got caught up in a sand/wind storm. We hit about 3 small towns in a row that didn’t have power before the trip computer finally hit 0 miles remaining. Was about 30 miles to the next…

Ahh my bad, discovering an issue in pre-production testing 12 years before announcing it as an issue to the NHTSA after years of claiming it posed no safety risk, rejecting multiple internal pushes for a fix, finally conceding to its engineers and switching the part yet leaving it under the same part number, and then…

Except GM did cover things up, in fact they did so for far longer...

The Toyota issue was linked to 12 deaths and they were fined $1.2 billion, the ignition switches were linked to 174 and they were only fine $0.9 billion.... I dunno about how that adds up using your math, but according to mine that fine is about 5% of what it should’ve been.

Yea because morons are who gets killed when you lose power brakes, steering, airbags, and your steering locks...

In the GM case you’d also lose power brakes, steering, all airbags, and the steering lock could engage.

As was pointed out, it was also an issue with the actual mechanism. And yes it could, unless the failure occurred at a time when you couldn’t respond in time, AKA exactly what happened in multiple cases.

3rd Gear: If only GM had received the same treatment after the ignition switch fiasco...

Where on Earth are you pulling these random E100 facts from? From Koenigsegg’s website:

It made the run in 36.44 on concrete, put it onto a proper surface and it’d shave even more time off. Couple that with the extra weight in the RS and I don’t doubt they could run sub 35 without much trouble, perhaps sub 34. So sure, not 12 seconds faster than the Chiron, but confirmed at 5.5 seconds faster, and likely…

How is this even a question? Get a used Focus ST

Koenigsegg just ran an Agera RS from 0-400-0 in 36.44 seconds.

I’ll go ahead and split the difference on this one:

I stand corrected then

I’m about 99% sure CRXs don’t have a steering lockout, so yes it would’ve.

Again man, I’m not saying he doesn’t have the right to object. Literally all I did was point out the hypocrisy in how he said it.

Except he didn’t say that... If you want to just change what he said in order to take the hypocrisy out of it go right ahead, but it’s really not relevant as a retort to my comment...

I’m trying to find where I even implied that.... Literally just pointing out the contradiction in the guys statement.
