> If you're trying to go around corners as fast as possible in a front-wheel drive car you're going to drive with one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas and will apply the brakes and the gas at the same time.

If you want a race car, buy a race car.

I track my street-legal Miata. It's a garbage argument to say "it's not a race car"--plenty of cars out there have not stupidly shoddy software and don't need crutches like brake override to get their safety.
