That is why you would press ~hard~ and sustain.

Reminded me, there's something called the "Power Braking Test" or "Stall Speed
Test": Rev up on full throttle against a full brake (only works on an
automatic), note steady-state rpm. Stop after a few seconds lest the torque
converter overheats.

This puts all the mechanical energy output in the torque converter -- another
place to dump the energy when braking a fast-moving car with engine on full
throttle.
