Yeah, that was just a bad situation. Panic makes people do strange things.
If I recall correctly, my old IS300 had a limit of 4,000 rpm or so in neutral, so I'd assume that anything over that would lock it out if you're already in gear.
That said, the car had incredible overkill brakes from the factory that had no issue overcoming the engine power.
And, if it came down to it, it had this amazing invention called a key that can turn the car off instantly.
