On my TDI, when you press the brake pedal, it disables the go pedal signal. You can't do heel and toe, but it's safer for the average joe.

The only thing I'm concerned about is a runaway caused by a sticking throttle in the cold on my Elantra or a blown turbo seal in my TDI. Even then I'm prepared to stick it in 5th and jump on the brake ASAP.

But anyway, I wonder why all cars don't automatically send the TPS to 0 when both pedals are pressed.
