I've been driving my manual brake 1963 Corvette for about 35 years, and my manual brake Cobra replica for about eleven years. I find that when the situation calls for maximum braking (e.g., approaching a 70 MPH turn at 140 MPH from the front straight at Roebling Road), I have no problem pressing hard enough to lock the brakes. Motivation and adrenaline seem to compensate for power assist.
