Im glad to see some intellegent replies here. Hp Does NOT make your car harder to stop. Speed and weight does. Its really about constant vs intermittent use, as was explained above. My ghia with discs in front and drums in the rear can lock up at 90mph to a stop. Prolonged usage results in serious brake fade, especially if the rears are not kept in good adjustment. Adjusting the parking brake tightens only one end of the shoes. After you do that a couple timed the total surface of the shoe never contacts the drum.
