I have anew 08 GT vert on order, Automatic.

I have a 00 GT Vert Automatic.

When you pull on the e-brake, it slows the car down a little, and certainly holds it in place on a hill, which is the whole point, I guess.

My question is this:
On the new style, does the e-brake lock the rear tires like I have experienced in some other cars?

My other question, why does the e-brake seem so powerful on some cars (enough so that you can start a drift with it) and so weak on others (like my 00 GT) ?

Is it just the manual transmissions that get the powerful e-brake?

So if I pull up on my parking brake it should lock up the rear wheels?
