Sami, brother of Salma, claims that the transaxle of the 2006 Ford GT he was driving suffered a "catastrophic failure", transferring too much power to one of the rear wheels which subsequently spun the car sideways and into oncoming traffic.Problem is, Sami is a liar.Let me ask you this, what happens when you puke a tranny? Last time I checked when a transmission suffers catastrophic failure it stops transmitting the engine's RPM to the driven wheels; a failed transaxle is a frozen transaxle.Now granted a frozen transmission could well spin the car without a second thought. The issue is that Mr.Hayek claims his failed transmission transferred too much power which then spun the supercar.Which is interesting when you couple Hayek's claim with the fact that the LAPD obtained a search warrant two months after the accident in order to hunt for the RCM, essentially the cars black box. The LAPD obtained the warrant on the back of eye witness testimony claiming Sami gunned the GT just prior to losing control.I believe that Hayek is using catastrophic failure of the transaxle as a mask for his throttle input just prior to crashing. The telemetry will certainly show the throttle spike, but it won't show where it came from.Clever, Sami, clever- I really hope you get caught...
