Accelerating into an animal to increase car's pitch is something I had heard growing up in deer country, but it seems to be a myth: http://www.discovery.com/tv-

- jdmichal 9y agoThat seems like a silly idea; the pitch change is not nearly as drastic as during braking. Cars decelerate faster than they accelerate. I don't know of any car that can go 0-60 in 100 feet, but there are plenty of cars that can go 60-0 in that distance: http://www.motortrend.com/news/20-best-60-to-0-distances-recorded/ http://www.motortrend.com/news/20-best-60-to-0-distances-rec... Advice I've seen is to brake as hard as you can to shed energy, then release the brake to correct the pitch as close to collision as you can time it. No acceleration involved.
