My girlfriend use to be a total sissy about my driving.. now she's getting to the point where she loves the e-brakes and the viscious cornering .

E-braking can also flat spot your tires and cause you to have vibration in your car... so that's one thing to watch out for..

Yes it will also wear down your shoes decent if you drive with it on for a while...

any performance shoes out for the car yet? we have the performance pads... now I want performance shoes!

I'm sorta new to this car, and racing in general. So I'll ask, do you pull it when you are turning or just whenever, and keep it pulled, or put it back down when you are done. Like when you are doing multiple corners, do you keep it pulled? Also would this work with my 03 Eclipse? It is front wheel drive.

I can do donuts in my car, dry, from a dead stop. Yanking the e-brake also works.

here's a fun e-brake story for everyone:

This past summer I was getting ready to go out to my gf's house and was parked at the end of my driveway. At the time, there was a big dip from the edge of the concrete driveway and the blacktop street and the dip was full of water from my dad washng his blazer. As I was backing out, I suddenly heard my tires spinning and I wasn't moving. I see my front wheels spinning in the water and I can't move at all. I ended up having to call AAA and get TOWED out of my driveway! When the tow truck came, the driver hopped in the car and tried to back it out with no luck himself. When he went back to his rig I noticed something... I had the e-brake pulled from the night before because the driveway is kinda steep! I quietly disengaged it and had him pull my car out. We traded laughs and I thanked him.. the whole time feeling like a complete moron...
