RallySoob said:I see where your coming from on Dry Weather Racing, but I'm gonna have to say that statements incorrect... Full on race cars are equipped with hi-performance brakes that are power assisted but still no ABS. Hi Performance Street cars like viper,ferrari, lamborghini are equipped with hi performance ABS systems that allow much more slip and have much more complex computer systems that evaluate all sorts of input and not just the driver's input. End result, you get the stopping power of non-abs while it's still there waiting for full lock-up just in case.
Pro: you can literaly feel the tires starting to lock before hand with hi-po racing brakes Con: but you can easily lock them up if you forget to PUMP THE BRAKE.
***Solution: Don't panic and slam on the brakes /or/ use ABS system to compensate for your miscalculations...
--I would use ABS on a road going built Supra for daily driving AND take out the fuse for races and impressing your friends
*im at work, just typed that really fast....
thats all that i'd use it for. i agree when you have control over your car and you're thinking about racing sure, but i'm sure even competant good drivers can lock it up under certain circumstances, and with abs i think your car will stop quicker...i might be wrong. dont quote me on that part. but yeah...on the road, i think its advantagous...nobody should be doing anything on public roads that would warrant disabling the ABS unless it causes problems in normal driving...like the snow thing....
BTW...what's wrong with ABS in the snow? does it keep the brakes from applying much at all? i've only driven in snow/shush ONCE so i'm not too familliar with the best way to stop in snow... i'm thinking maybe the low-grip snow confuses the ABS computer, and really screws with the break power?...
