Good point.. hadnt thought about that. I've always owned older cars that dont have the emergency braking assist.. doubt Id ever want a car that had that.

Nenukknak, with Rwd (and plate type LSD), left foot braking should only ever be used as a reaction time/foot movement time saver, the pedals should not be applied simultaniously unless you really want to lock the diff and spin as I quickly learned..
