Maybe in 60s cars with 4 wheel drums. But the brake force on even basic modern cars is sufficient to overcome like 800hp. Go ahead and give it a shot in your own car and see. I have a 400+hp car with shitty brakes and it will still stop completely and readily if I hold down the throttle and brakes at the same time in second gear.
Now, if you ride the brakes, they will overheat and lose stopping power. So you're going to want to actually try to stop the car.

Nice deep 1st gear, ~2:1 low range, and available with manual brakes on the lower trim levels. In the lowest gear it can probably just idle over the force of a small women or scrawny teen pushing the pedal.
