Please specify a vehicle. It would be very rare for a standard passenger vehicle (non-bob tail semi). Even for muscle cars your emergency stopping distance from 60mph is almost always shorter than your 0-60 distance.
This is one of the proof points for people who experience "sudden acceleration" while pushing hard on the "breaks" since the breaks could stop those cars. There are drive by wire elements/booster of many modern cars and EVs do have higher low speed torque. Perhaps if you were going fast and got the breaks nice and hot before they could stop the car? It's interesting to me that the guy admitted he was intentionally exceeding the speed limit.
For the Model S Plaid, however, it may well be the case:
