in the aspire i have never had to hit the gas to get out of trouble. the braking of the car is 10x better than its torque. however i get to play with jerk drivers in my other car because it does have the power and the brakes to back up any maneuver i choose. the example that happens the most is when a dirt hauler is flinging rocks, that necessitates some excessive wot if you want to save your windshield and front end paint. slowing down just keeps you behind or next to the problem.
