If brakes easily overpowered the engine, I would never be able to accidentally drive away with my parking brake still engaged.
Parking brake is not the same. Try googling it. Or think of the physics -your car can go from 60 to zero a lot faster than it can go zero to 60. Or watch the top gear episode where they test it on a mustang with a thousand horsepower and stock brakes.
A parking break is different than the breaks operated by the floor pedal.
