That would be vastly more interesting than a Camry, though I understand why the Camry was chosen.

Modern cars in the US all tend to have electronic throttles rather than cable throttles so it is easy for manufacturers to program them to cut the throttle if the car sees full throttle and hard braking at the same time. In 2019, "NHTSA said all automakers have voluntarily installed brake throttle override systems on all new vehicles and the agency does not anticipate any automakers removing the system.". Technically this is not required though because NHTSA dropped the proposed requirement in 2019.

Side note: on the Camaro SS 1LE I have experimented with using a light brake pedal application for around a second with my left foot while at a steady throttle position in a specific turn on one track to slightly modify the front to rear balance for a bit more front grip and the car did not cut throttle so there may be a delay or minimum amount of braking required before throttle cut kicks in. Similarly, I have seen PDR videos of Camaro drivers who manually blip the throttle to rev match downshifts during hard braking on track and the car allows that too without cutting throttle.
