Your-Ebrake uses your brake pads to stop too... but it only uses the rear ones, and you don't have any brake assist with it. I can't really fathom how using your E-brake would stop you better than using your regular brakes if the problem is indeed your pads/rotors. It sounds to me like you may have a problem with your master cylinder or something else to do with brake fluid/pressure. Either that or just a placebo effect that you have developed with the E-Brake.

No way that's repairable. My Z was totalled and had a hell of a lot LESS damage than that. I only hit one side, no air bags deployed, the car still drove and wasn't leaking any fluids, and it was totalled.
Check out the damage to mine for reference.
