Keaton was warned about the handling problems with the CGT, ignored his mechanic’s advice, and invited Rudl for a ride without mentioning the problems.

^ Read again... the car had no problems! The problem was the driver's inability to drive a CGT fast. The car is prone to oversteer... all Porsches are. That's why they're trickey yet rewarding to drive fast, they have a steep learning curve. There was no mechanical defect in the car.
You think a guy owning a $500,000 car offering a ride to his buddy who is looking to buy one is going to say, "Gee Bill, you know this Porsche is one hell of a car, but I sure do suck at driving it."
