Not so fast there Clois I had powerless brakes the first year I owned the car and there was a time or two where I tried to slow down quickly, but couldn't and ended up taking a turn beyond my comfort level. I have since put an electric power brake system on from http://www.abspowerbrake.com that works wonderfully. Doesn't take up near as much room as the boosted brakes do and applies 1200lbs of force at the pads compared to 600 from the boosted. Our club takes long cruises and the power brakes really make the day not as long (as far as my legs are concerned). I had it on the track at Gateway last year, and with the built in proportioning valve in the master cylinder, I was able to brake hard and straight in the turns. I'm sure there will be many more opinions for you to get confused by, but my opinion is always right.......well maybe not.
