Nothing would happen. You'll still have to use the brakes to stop it. The same thing if you try to put a manual car suddenly into reverse gear. Additionally, there will be a grinding sound. Though strongly not recommended to try |

No. The metal "detent" in the transmission that locks a transmission is a small piece of metal. It the gear will even be able to get into park, the piece of metal will probably shear off and the car might behave as if it were in neutral. Meanwhile, that little peice of metal would be churning around the gears of the tranny, turning some of it into mush, while other pieces will shear off, grinding on still more moving parts.
At 70 miles per hour, you'd leave, something like, a half mile trail of metal and tranny fluid in your wake.
This little piece of metal, by the way, is the reason manufacturers recommend using the parking brake AND the "park" gear, when parking on a hill. It is not designed to hold the entire weight of the car against gravity. It is desinged to prevent the car from rolloing on a SLIGHT incline. |

Depends on how new the car is most new ones won't let you shift into park or reverse without pressing down on the brakes first.if it does let you shift in park new transmission or a drive line will have to be replaced as would new tires you would have a flat spot. If you want to know the answer to this the easy and cheap way get out on the road go about 65 and pull the e brake it has the same effect |

The parking tooth will just skip over the gear teeth and the tranny will make a grinding noise. At slower sppeds, Park can actuate and it will lock the drive wheels, or break a drive shaft, or break off the parking tooth and the vehicle's 'PARK' position will be just like another neutral.
Flip over? Nah |

a friend of mine tried it, it made funny noises apparently, wouldn't be to keen to find out. the transmission 'locks' itself so it would just act like like a brake with the wheels locked i would assume, the car wouldn't flip but maybe you might loose control. her car didn't as it isn't much of a car. |
