a warm engine already at high RPM won't necessarily stop running without ignition, like a diesel it can run under certain conditions with fuel auto-igniting. And brakes won't necessarily be able to fight against a racing big engine. You can put it in neutral to stop the car but then kiss the engine goodbye!
Learned this the hard way in a 69 GP 25 years ago when the cruise control chain got stuck on I-90 on my way to the POCI nationals.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
