so yeah driving my friends rsx through my neighborhood at like 2 tonight (yeah i know its really dumb) and well i was driving like its my own personal race track. anyways i started getting really deep into some corners and i noticed the abs kicking in. and well i felt like i was gonna slide right off the road i felt it nto want to stop.
anyways how do you guys feel on abs you like it, you dont? also are you supposed to pump abs for actuatly stop? anyways is it possible to just flip a switch and turn off the abs(on nice cars)? also do any gt's come with abs? i know for a fact that gt-fours come with it. -------------------- Former: 96 GT 5 speed (i/p/e) Fate- rear ended by mack truck

totally agree with ABS in the snow being crap- you NEVER stop, just feel the brakes pump like mad... I prefer no ABS to be honest, Ive had cars with and without it (my celi dosent have it  ), and in the winter I just dont think the payoff is great enough to have slightly better summer braking, and substanitally weaker winter breaking. There is no substitute for attentive driving, but thats just my opinion
