I mean try it, floor your car in 5th gear and then stamp on the brakes while on full throttle, the car slows down and will stall the engine .... well it did on my on a ST170 with ALOT more power than a 318
Cobblers!

Go do 130 then keep your right foot planted and try and slow the car using your left foot on the brakes. Might get some retardation, but heat issues will stop the brake working, well before you've got anywhere below 70 IMO. Having said that I dont think he had any real problem with the car. As I said above its a classic example of Attention seeking mental illness.
