if you pull the handbreak with the clutch engaged (and car moving at a speed) then you still have the full engines power working against the rear wheel brakes(the handbrake). I pull the HB all the time to make quick turns and with the clutch engaged i hear the loud POP and the car hardly slows down.

xclusivecar- what are you trying to do when you pull the handbrake? lock up the back tires or just curious as to what will happen?
