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.

The reason that abs is no good on the track is becasue you tend to get it kicking in on one wheel when it goes light entering a corner for example and once it startss running it judt locks and unlocks that wheel, it cant adjust the pressure, so you dont slow down so fast, unlike the newer brake distrubution systems.

Another reason for it being crap on the track, is you start to spin, iw you know youve lost it and you got hit the anchors, if you cant lock the wheels your gonna end up going deep into the inside of the corner, possibly the wall, the abs will send you into it. No abs and you can lock all the wheels and spin out safely.
