Actually, now that I think of it... if you kept on the throttle as your drive wheels hit the ramps, you would probably stall the engine.

Keeping it WOT in that scenario is similar to rolling along at 10mph (1st gear, 1k rpm), pushing in the clutch, reving to 4k and putting the car in 5th gear and dropping the clutch. You'd stall the engine.
