when making a U-turn in the middle of a block it would be nice to be able to e-brake and get the rear end sliding around.
Can't do one with the Mustang... is it because of my auto tranny?

u should be able to just throw your steering wheel quickly and your rear wheels should start sliding....but then I drive a manual...so I dunno for sure

Sorry.
Just had to chime in.
Parking Brake?
Good? Bad?
If you park, and pull it, and it keeps your car from rolling away, it's good.
If not...it's bad.
If someone can look me in the face and tell me there is a "gold standard" parking brake...
I'll **** in his Cheerios.
WTF.

RE: handbrake not very good on stangs?
Once I parked on a slanted driveway and didn't pull the ebrake ALL the way, it was about 2 or 3 clicks from being fully engaged and I came back out and the car was in the middle of the F'N STREET!! Luckily it was 3am and it didnt hit any thing but I never had that problem with any of my other cars I parked on that driveway, so I'm not very impressed with these ebrakes, I always leave it in gear now just to be safe.
