Re: [DMCForum] handbrake performance

Well just look at the size of the handbrake pads compared to the size of
the
others.

If you want to play with the breaks you need to get a set of Porsche BIG
REDS and fit them to the car.  60 to 0 in a fraction of your 0 to 60...

I get the idea that DMC only intended the hand brake to be
used to stop the car from rolling when parked on a hill.  It
doesn't do too great a job on that.  Is there any other
place to mount that hand brake?  Leave it up and it becomes
a literal pain in the ass getting in & out of the car.
Maybe it could be moved further back.

This discussion has me thinking now... How hard would it be
to hook up a hydraulic brake lever that only operates the
rear calipers?  Then you could do some fun stunt driving
locking up the rear wheels on turns.
