[net.auto] Handling; power brakes

root (06/15/82)

   With regard to pur-ee!davy's comments about power brakes --
beware against thinking that power-assisted brakes will stop
a car better that non-power-assisted.  All the power-assist
will do is reduce pedal pressure.

   With regard to harpo!mmp's remarks about a Plymouth Horizon
handling well, I suggest she drive a Lotus or Ferrari, then
make a re-assessment about the Plymouth.

If we compare a Horizon's handling to a Lotus or Ferarri, should we
compare price too?  And if the Lotus costs n times as much as the
Horizon, will it handle n times better?  Be serious.  The discussion
was about run of the mill cars ( < $15K ).
