I have to agree with DemonSVT's statements about the possibility of stalling. It is, however not very likely, but it can happen.

Personally I have never stalled my old Mystique like that, but I have definitely felt the power drop, and observed lights dimming when brakes are pressed. I sometimes even see this when pulling into my driveway, popping the clutch at between 15-30pmh and making a 90' degree turn whilst braking sharply. I've stalled a couple of other cars doing this, and had to tap the throttle a number of occaisions, but not on the duratec. It would depend on what your engine speed is whilst doing this though. If you're near to the stall line then you could stall it, but if you're up at 1,000rpms or more then you'll likely not notice more than the lights dimming a little and the throttle dropping before lifting up again.
