[right][snapback]223227[/snapback][/right] ABS is about the only driver aid I would insist on. Mine is currently non operational, and I'm not happy about it. Can you brake every wheel to the limit? No. You have a single pedal and you modulate to the weakest wheel. ABS can have 2 wheels on dirt, 2 on tarmac and will haul the car down a crapload more effectively than you can. Put it this way, if F1 cars were allowed ABS, they would all run it. It's not as much fun, and for a track toy I wouldn't have ABS. But for a road car I think it's essential. Not so much for enthuisasts like us who take a pride and interest in their driving, but for those who don't. My mother wouldn't know what to do with a locked wheel at 80mph. Now she doesn't need to. -------------------- JDM ST205
