Hi
I did an advanced driving course in my work Ford Falcon ute (pickup). I have to say I can see the benefits of ABS if you want to stomp on the pedal and lets face it, that's what most of us will do unless we have very good skills and reflexes. The other benefit of ABS is that the car can still be steered while doing an emergency stop.
I had a moment in 1302 a few years ago, I had 4 spot Brembos all round etc, I had to do a very unexpected emergency stop, for the first part my reactions locked the brakes on, then as I got a handle on it I backed my foot off and pulled up OK, if I had ran out of room before hitting another car ABS may have bought me some more time.
I may put ABS on my car in the future, maybe only 2 channels for the front wheels only.
Steve
