I've been driving an 83 Air Cooled for seven years and I've owner several
81/82 and I've never had any problem with stopping it.
If you've got enough vacuum for the booster and the system is in good
shape just spend your money elsewhere.
I admit I've never come down any long descending mountain roads and that
might be the test for *are real BAD* critique.
