A man ain't a man till he survives a complete no brakes situation at 60 mph going downhill.
It was a very exciting 10 seconds.

Soooo right! Yes, stopping a couple tons of Detroit Steel from hurtling to perdition without hydraulic brakes SHOULD BE part of any Driving Exam! That's when folks learn what the phrase "EMERGENCY BRAKE" means. Using the engine to brake also helps plenty here. That's another aspect of the old 2 pump design early Torqueflight trannies had; that the rear pump helped a transmission work sans the engine MAKING EMERGENCY BRAKING MORE PRACTICAL!
