Good theory, but, the brakes *totally* overwhelm the engine, so if you are standing on *THE BRAKES* and not the throttle that Audi is not going to move. At all. Even if you slam the throttle open at speed and hold it wide open the brakes still totally overwhelm the engine and will bring the Infinite Accelerating (Tm) Audi to an immediate stop. While there *may* be an issue with the idle stabilizer 'unintended acceleration' is a problem within the operator's brain and not a mechanical function.....
