Once again, you do what you want with your car.

I do not want a solid brake pedal.



Since you like the idea so much, why don't you run the numbers and tell us what kind of pedal arrangement and master cylinder it would take to get a 200 lb (since it doesn't have to be 300 lb) push on the pedal that generates no appreciable movement but still gives you 1000 psi at the calipers and between .003" and .008" of pad movement.



ok ,im not great at math so ill have to start easy.if i use a caliper as a mas cyl so the the volume is the same or four pumping into four if you like,a two hundred pound press should net 200 psi with no peddle leverage built in(push right on the mas cyl)

so if the peddle is one 14 long with two inches above the mas cyl that would be a force and distance multiplication of 6x so
1200 psi caliper press
.018 to.014 pad movement

thats about the closest i could come to putting it on paper i have no idea what cal volumes are and dont feel like doing pie.from my micky mouse setup it doesnt seem like 1000 psi and 1 inch of peddle travel is unreasonable,the problem is nobody in fifty years has put 200 psi in a brake peddle and most peaple are acostomed to tickling the peddle with thier foot and having thier modern brakes stop thier car for them.modulation to threshold is the job of abs so they dont need a hard peddle feel for modulation.

i like a soft peddle,heated seats,stereo,carpet,brakes that are bigger than my tires can justify- just like the next guy.

im also willing to push all that junk into a dumpster to go a little bit faster.ill even bother to listen to peaple like you who act arrogant toward me in hopes i learn something.

remember in the 80s when "pro street" cars were all over the place and thats what evryone was building.peaple saw cars like the silver bullit-ran tens in 1970 and was a street car and were inspired for the next twenty years to build cars that LOOKED like it.

fast foreward twenty years later and RJ GOTTLIEBs camaro catches the attention of the world outrunning evrything italy germany and japan could thro at it by a huge margin and set the car world on fire and for the next twenty years "pro touring" has done its best job to produce cars with the same "feel,vibe,penache,LOOK,ect,ect."

alot of these cars (like yours)remind me of the parade ground twelve second cars driving around with blowers sticking thru the hood back in the 1980s
