10 months agoNah. I’ve driven 3800 lb street cars with aftermarket manual brake systems, race car shit, no production parts. It’s excellent. The feel and modulation need to be experienced to understand. Pedal effort is much, much higher than power brakes, obviously. The real benefit is feel - you know exactly how much braking force you’re applying, so you can brake right at the threshold.
I used to like prowling on Friday and Saturday nights looking for a little action and making a hit or two. Now, I like exploring forest roads, BLM trails, forgotten or abandoned roads, anything remotely and lightly traveled.
