Skidding On Brakes and Full Throttle From Static

Hi all, amateur sim pilot here (X-Plane). I've been playing with a payware C172S model recently and noticed that the aircraft skids quite easily with brakes applied (toe or parking) when the throttle is above 2000 RPM from static. My question is, is this realistic? Does the 172S produce enough thrust to force the aircraft to skid along in real life?

My own personal GA experience has been limited to Piper and Diamond trainers mostly as a passenger. Neither of them skid when under brakes, as far as I noticed. I asked other pilots and some said that the C182 can skid forward when braked and from static.

Keen to know your thought. Cheers,
