This one tickled my funny bone a little. I grew up in a time when power brakes were a luxury as was most things power.
When building our car it was not even an option. The science of steering and stopping is not all that complicated especially when talking to the people in the know. For example Wilwood brakes helped me through the whole process with rotors,calipers,dual masters,proportional valve,pressure gauge etc etc.This car will put you through the glass and with very little pedal pressure.
The manual steering rack is quick and solid.Both systems are designed to give an excellent feel of the road, total control and the confidence to push the car to the limit of the tires at least
Personally would not want to drive a Cobra with any power assist.
