I use it to extend my drift. If the car has a crappy diff, I'll use it to initiate.
I am very safety driver!!!!!!!!!

my car has a crappy diff, i use it to initiate. i also use it to extend drifts. i try not to use it too much, using the e-brake slows your car down. also you need to push in the clutch when you pull the e-brake.
My e-brake is a small brake shoe inside my rotor... it doesn't lock up, only functions as a parking brake. I broke the shoes trying to use it for lockup... and later disconnected the entire system, so it doesn't work at all.
i can't explain from a mechanical standpoint, but that's just the way it works.
yank the ebrake without pushing the clutch and youll get a nice, gradual slowdown. do it right with the clutch in, and you'll go sideways.

not generally. even though it's a good way to hold that last bit of angle before a turn, it also slows the car rapidly so using it a lot on low power cars will tend to slow so much that the car straightens out. if you don't time it right you'll come up short on the turn and have to straighten out as well to stay on course.

I have to park my car in gear.
Subarus are the same way, small drum on the inside if the rotor hat.
