> This is true on your car with a physical transmission as well.

I think you mean an automatic physical transmission. My manual transmission car has a clutch that I can always disengage in a fraction of a second.

I meant what I said. The entire point of my comment is that it's the human reaction time that's gonna be the limiting factor.

Apologies, although in this case you are wrong. Human reaction time to disengage the engine in a 3-pedal car is split-second.
