I can't help myself

LOL!

Yeah I get it. There are a ton of modern cars that use a push button for the parking brake. And realistically with modern braking systems having an independent backup that you can modulate in case of a total failure is pretty much overkill.

I've honestly never had a complete brake failure that required something like that. Trying to use the factory A-body handle for a failure like that would only be slightly better than on-off anyway, although I have considered changing my car over to a tunnel mounted e-brake lever. Totally overkill, just one of those things I think about.

The electric system would definitely be easier to route on a car with weld to floor sub-frame connectors! Not to mention it would free up a lot of space under the dash.
I had a complete brake (master cylinder) system failure coming down the east side of Berthod Pass into Denver in 1964 in my 57 Olds, so it was low range and parking brake time (just a poor broke USAF airman). :lol:Took me 3 days to relax my sphincter!
Given the fact the Charger has a full perimeter frame, ebrake makes a lot of sense. And you are correct it cleans up the dash, etc.
