all its gonna do is burn the brake pads up a bit. I used to do it in my talon and it works pretty well.

personally i like to downshift, brake boosting works but i dont see that much diff in my car, my bro had an srt 4 and hed pull almost anything from a roll, but he did it till his brakes would glaze over lol overall though id say just downshift
