And Cadillacs and something else......
Oh yeah, Ford Capri, several Terminators, Cobra to Terminator conversion, Blown Lincolns, couple Lightnings, several Vetts, 7 RX-7s (FD and FC), several Z32s, several F-bodies, couple Porsches and 20 Fox Mustangs.

And ya know several of those cars were built in the time span it took for you to finnish your truck.... oh wait.

That being said, cars have had non-assisted brakes for years. Race cars have gone without for ever. Some track cars come from the factory with no power brakes. Seems when I saw a new COPO being built it also did not have power brakes.

Why are you answering a question that was not even directed at you? You could fly a balloon from Waco to Galveston with all the hot air coming out of that head of yours.

its not a trick question.. i guess i shouldve read back further to see if the truck has willwood or strange discs or some other exotic shit on it. i wanna know if it has a lot of pedal effort trying to slow it down from 140+ or is no different from thedrivers seat.. i've only been in the 90s through the 1/8 in a brand new car, so im wondering what a purpose built whooride stops like with 50+ mph on it.

the master doesnt care about power or manual, and power brakes have a different throw ratio on the pedal. A manual brake pedal will have more leverage (if setup properly) so that your pedal effort is similar, and sometimes less, than power brakes.

It's like any car with a brake pedal, the harder you push it, the faster it stops.

No chute on it? I'm obviously pissing in the wind in this thread.

No chute, yet.

10-4. My question was how does it stop from 120+ or if you run it out the back 150+... What brake system is on it?

It has wilwood on the front, stock disc on the back (01 explorer). I've been 162 in it and it stops fine. No real issues, I've been 127 at redline and Kennedale and there's no real threat of not stopping.
