They use their e-brake ? I always thought it would be more sophisticated than that. Like they’d activate the rear circuit of their brake system...

It’s to pay tribute to all the mall parking lot shenanigans, where the spirit of the hoon is born

most of the fancier hydraulic brakes like the one pictured are activated the rear portion of the brake system, not the hand brake.

They are activating just the rear brakes, you can see the sepa rate master for the handle in the pic you posted. Some even mount another set of calipers on the rear wheels.

I am interested in setting up such an arrangement on my Crown Vic. I was imagining that I would have to run some brake line to a separate cylinder and that the normal system would do its job until the secondary system was activated with a yank of the handle. A check valve, a bypass... Seems to me that using the e-brake is cheesy.

If your e-brake circuit has the power to lock a wheel on demand, you might aswell . Some even already come with seperate small caliper for e-brake next to the large normal use one.

I’m afraid of overworking something not designed to work that way.

On my ‘96 CVPI with the 4 wheel discs, they used a small drum inside the rear disc for the parking/emergency brake. Probably not ideal for braking while moving.

My thinking as well. Not made for it and a good way to ruin the e-brake, or wear it out extremely.

If your setting it up for drifting you'll be better off learning without it and then upgrading down the line

Rght you would have to run line for that handle to work. Idk about the Vic but some ebrakes are just a mechanical accut ation of the rear brake in case of loss of hydraulic fluid. Some use a separate drum brake in the rear rotor instead.
I imagine most people run a second pair of calipers when using a hydraulic e brake because tying in the hydraulics of the handle with the rest of the braking system is a pain in the ass.

A lot of drift guys will use the stock handbrake. And it's not specifically designed for that but with some steering input it should lock up. However, with an automatic, you might want more stopping power

Yeah, I think that actuating the rear brake circuit makes the most sense.

A hydro brake DOES operate only the rear brakes. The mechanical e-brake on basically every car would disintegrate under actual hooning abuse.
One thing I have never really fi gured out is how a hydro brake like this behaves when you have an automatic transmission. If you’re drifting and hooning, isnt bringing the rear wheels to a full stop putting a huge shock on the trans and the torque converter? In a manual car, you obviously have to clutch in every time you rip that e-brake. Lots of fancy footwork and clutch kicking.

Yes, I see it the same way. I don't know about shock to the torque converter but it seemed to me that at the very least, you have a good deal more spinning mass to arrest when applying that rear brake and I also would expect the parking brake to disintegrate rapidly.
