    I understand this, however, without a LOT of practice with no ABS, a majority of people will revert to just mashing on the brake pedal in emergency situations. With it only taking the slightest difference in pressure between full lock-up and maximum roll traction it is more effective to have ABS. Most people can't differ the pressure applied to the pedal in small enough increments for them to match ABS capabilities. Just my observations through Traffic Accident Investigation course and Anti-Terrorist High risk driving courses.

    On a side note, it would be cool to be able to power slides whenever you want.

    id rather have no abs on a performance vehicle then have abs. the younger crowd probably never drove without abs but the older ones have driven with abs and usually know how to stop without abs. alot of the abs used today blow anyways in many situations
