VIDEO: Here we see a 1970 Corvette doing a brake torque. Even though we are increasing the amount of brake assist force you will see that it does not unbalance the system. Front to rear brake proportion is retained.

VIDEO:  Here is a 1970 Corvette executing a panic stop. Notice the ability to quickly and cleanly lock all 4 wheels without unnecessary drama. C3 Vettes have massive rotors and calipers, but full braking performance was never fully achieved due to inadequate assist produced by the factory vacuum brake booster. With the addition of the Hydratech booster, it is now possible to easily execute a four wheel lock at will, if needed.

VIDEO:  Panic stop number two, notice how the car evenly hunkers down at the same time. There is not front to rear imbalance caused by the additional braking assist. Even though we are demonstrating the ability to lock all four wheels, the system is still very easy to modulate.

VIDEO:  This movie was shot head on with the 1970 Corvette. You will notice that no strange side to side motion exists. These cars stop straight and true with the enhanced brake assist system.

VIDEO:  Here is a 1977 Corvette coupe equipped with a Hydratech booster making a panic stop. Notice that with a stiffer suspension geometry we are able to perform a four-wheel lock and the car stops straight. There is no premature rear lock or strange side effects from the additional braking power.

VIDEO:  This is a 1988 Oldsmobile 442 outfitted with a 455 big block Oldsmobile engine. It is carrying a bit more weight over the nose than a factory Cutlass. This vehicle has been equipped with four wheel disc brakes. The 442 executes a panic stop, once again notice the ability to engage in a four-wheel lock without having to put both feet on the brake pedal and try to push it through the firewall.

VIDEO:  Stop number two in the Oldsmobile.  This shows once again that even with the increased braking power the front to rear braking geometry is not altered.
