I did have trouble with this "feature" once when I had a brain fart. I got the car rolling but still stalled the engine. Normally, I could just clutch in and just restart the car as it rolls, but with the Camaro, I had to brake to crank the car. I had a bit of a panic moment when I couldn't crank the car with the clutch down until I looked in the gauge cluster and realized that, oh yeah, I need to press the brake as well to crank. So I had to brake, which caused the car to stop and a few honks from behind, but I managed to crank the car and went on my way. I think the idea is that they want to you pull over before you start the car, or mimic an auto trans more where you have to press the brake to start the car. Can be a bit inconvenient, however.

Not crazy about the epb. I hate getting in and waiting 2 sec. for it to release and get the release indication on the IP. 😩

I know this thread is a few weeks old, but here's my beef with the EPB: I end up parking on/driving up hills and in past cars: I'd slowly release the normal parking brake while getting the car into gear. Unless I'm missing something, the EPD doesn't allow this.
I know my Camaro has a "hill holder" function but it only stays locked for maybe 2 seconds maximum. |

The Dukes Of Hazzard could never be made today, at least not without CGI. The stunt crew removed the lock release bracket in the parking brake pedal assembly under the dash in every one of those 300 or so 1968-69 Chargers they used in the show so the stunt drivers could hit those 90 degree turns and backwards J-turns full throttle. They’d lock the rear brakes up at 60 mph by stomping on the parking brake, do the turn, that would cause the rear end to slide out, then take their foot back off the pedal right away and the spring load would pop the pedal back out and fully release the brake without having to pull the release handle! Very smart way to do it. Very cool. |

How much longer does one need, though?

(BTW hill start in a manual car with no HSA is one of the mandatory and duly dreaded driving test exercises where I come from, at least it was back in the day )

That may depend on how well you trust the HH to (1) stay locked, and (2) release when you expect it to.
I can see this being a bigger problem for drivers who normally don't use much (or any) throttle when first moving the car off from a full stop. There is some risk of stalling if your clutch timing beats the HH and your throttle input, and of rolling the wrong way if your footwork is too slow. Norm

I'd probably just stall out an M6 for the first few times after years with the auto anyway

The brake will turn itself off when you move.
