I will be putting a pump on mine soon. My biggest issue is that all, and I mean all, of the experts including Dennis Olthoff who is doing the R&D, told me on the phone he is positive the car needs better R. brakes. There are a few of you that say they're happy with the setup they have. But, you must look at it from my standpoint.....I recognized that there was an issue in March. When I brought it up in my first letter to the company I received an e-mail followed by a phone call from Olthoff stating he "HAS ALREADY BEEN WORKING ON THE BACK BRAKE ISSUE FOR 8 WEEKS!!! This is 6 weeks before I took possession of my car." He has always used a vacuum pump..........Think how my car must feel with no pump and no brakes!
James, your R. brakes are 5 times stronger than mine.(read Olthoff's test again) If you want the same braking force on your car as I have, take a hack saw and cut off 80% of your rear pads and give it a go at Willow Springs and see how she stops. Then the braking power on our cars would match.
Not one single person has made a negitive comment about the brakes on the first 2600 Superformance cars. You said you're not a mechanic....call Olthoff and tell him why he and all the others working on this issue are off they're Ass.
I'm glad you're happy..... I will be soon............ tom
