Power brakes!!! Shifting manual gears, heaving a manual steering wheel hand to hand, breathing exhaust fumes, exhaust blaring in your ears, sun beating down on your head, winding your own windows up and - ohh, we don't have any of those - who needs stinking power brakes? Never struck me as strange since I've got about 30 years in a 66 427 Corvette w/o any power. But I can see how some folks have grown up expecting power brakes and feel more comfortable with them. I have to confess I did add a power booster to my 67 drum brake Plymouth GTX. Those 11 inch police spec drum brakes can be a really stiff.
