Also imagine your suspension and tyres are all settled nicely handling the everything then suddenly not only is all the power lifted but also brakes are applied giving a massive change in mass distribution around the cars wheels.
Not a good idea.

On a handling vein

My 156 V6 has quite a heavy nose due to the big engine, once along a dual carriageway at a roundabout I was following a lady in an MX5.
She wasn't even looking at what she was doing as she went around the roundabout changing a tape or something I think.

I was working hard keeping on the ideal line my tyres squealing in protest and quite nr the limit, obviously once on the straight I had the power but it shows what a low center of gravity and light weight can do.
The MX5 handled beautifully and is near the top of the list in wikipedia
