You never see tests like that?  A true redline test for automobiles?

Why not?

Because you would have people buying those cars and putting them to the same test, breaking the law in speeding, and also causing a blow up hazard?

But you do wonder, don't you?

If you put the peddle to the floor on a 3 cylinder car how fast could you get it to go before it blew up or failed.

I suppose I really mean fail instead of blow up.

And perhaps assuming that the car was broken in for the required miles before the test is attempted.

And now we are getting interesting aren't we!  Some cars might fail in different ways that others!  Some might blow up in the test.  Some might be inclined to fail in a loss of control

And there we go again.  Some cars would likely lose control long before they reached top engine speed.

Did you ever see that listed in the safety precautions?  This car will lose control when such speed is reached?  Wouldn't that be a great comparison between cars?

These brakes will glaze over and fail at such speed?

And now we are getting into the question of using the best available technology for every application?

And then perhaps you make a back in time analysis and see what correlates?  Do the car models that had the greatest stated results on the, what is often termed "torture test" last the most miles?  And that would likely be something they might want to fake and worry about getting sued for later?

Oh, now I touched on a corruption and evil not mentioned.  The idea of committing a crime and worrying about getting sued for it later?  Or perhaps better phrased as being negligent and not worrying about whether you will be successfully sued later because you will have made so much money you are then too big to fail?

Aha, another interesting point comes up.  To make so much money that if you are successfully sued and bankrupted the house and personal assets you are allowed to keep in bankruptcy still qualify you as a multimillionaire?

And then they will pay you large sums to make documentaries of your life.  And the wealthy Republican sons and daughters of alcoholics can't get enough of that!!!
