On the other hand, I find it much easier to work up to your threshold of braking without locking up the brakes in a manual setup. I would flat spot all of my Camaros tires really badly with a booster.

It's all give and take I guess. If I had ABS I might consider power brakes in my '69. Whatever makes Karl most comfortable on the track is what should be in the car, I think.


Trail brake with your LEFT foot...
