Ernie, I've never done that to a good car, however I had a little Chevy Luv pickup that used to suffer from carb icing. Out of frustration and with the hope that it would destroy itself I would on occasion push the clutch in and put the pedal to the metal. That little motor would rev like crazy but wouldn't pop - and I would do this for extended periods.
I often wonder if that little motor is still buzzing around
