I was wondering how much damage a max would get through e-braking on a wet road, say at 40mph?
I heard that e-braking while moving will "stretch the hand-brake cord", is that true? what are the damages that can result from doing that?

Since you are asking/worrying about ebrake sliding, it means you know nothing about e brake sliding. So don't try it since you don't know anything about it!

i dont think it'll break the cord, but it will put a flat spot on ur tires. i wouldnt recommend it, unless u are plannin to change tires.

i wouldn't do that

my friend at school used to do that, he eventually messed up his e brake and when he parked on hills, his car would start sliding cuz he wore it out, why would u want to power slide with it, you don't have a race car. jus don't want people to do dangerous things, i've seen crazy drivers out there, and my friend once lost control when his gf pulled on the e brake when he ran a red light, its scary, you don't know how the car will react at differnt speeds.
