E-Brake Problems

im not sure why, but when i am driving at say 30 mph and i pull the e-brake, it does not lock my rear brakes up, like all of my friends' cars. i want to change this because e-brakes make driving more fun

does anyone know how to go about fixing this?

is this for real?? you bought a brand new car and you're trying to yank the e-brake at 30mph for "fun"???

maybe the problem isn't with your brakes......

The only time i would deam yanking the E-brake okay, is in snow/ice in a parking lot if your trying to drift alittle, and even you wouldn't want to do it for very long, just to lose traction.
