Gee, my '71 911 with ~160 hp stuck the throttle wide open in 2nd  - and it 
certainly had enuf power to overcome the brakes!!!  I am not sure if the 
brakes on the 91 200q would bring the car to a stop if one was doing about 
2500 rpm and hit WOT and the brakes. Not gonna try it either (I hope).

<     A while back we went through this subject thoroughly on the list.
     In order to break the brakes free (ie go forward while occupant
     "stomps" on brakes) you'd need 900+HP. I know some of the
     turbos were fast...but none where near 900 ponies under the
     hood. So any scenario where brakes are fully applied and
     the car moves at all is totally implausable unless the
     brakes were in precarious condition. (Which NONE of the
     vehicles involved were.)>
