did they do this with the car MOVING at speed,and THEN try to stop the car
with full throttle?
Or just put the brakes on and floor the gas pedal?

"With the Camry’s throttle pinned while going 70 mph, the brakes easily overcame
all 268 horsepower straining against them and stopped the car in 190 feet—that’s
a foot shorter than the performance of a Ford Taurus without any gas-pedal
problems and just 16 feet longer than with the Camry’s throttle closed. From 100
mph, the stopping-distance differential was 88 feet—noticeable to be sure, but
the car still slowed enthusiastically enough to impart a feeling of confidence"
