The situations where you need to use the accelerator in an "oh crap" maneuver are quite rare. Most of the time you simply just need to veer off in a different direction or use the brakes to save yourself. I've been driving with slow and sluggish cars for many years, never a problem. Drive a big rig, a dump truck, or tow a huge RV and tell me you need to accelerate at mach 1 or a car is total crap.

That is like saying you don't need a car with AWD because there are many drivers that do just fine with FWD.
