I bought a manual to drive it, not have some stupid sensor kick in a safety feature which I'm quite capable of doing myself in N and pumping brakes. In 28 years of driving in all kinds of inclimate northeast not once have I ever locked up the brakes. Hell a bum sensor has the ABS light up just to irritate me further. I feel more out of control than in when the ABS and TCS lights go on.

rant off

 

Not only can ABS modulate the brakes faster then humanly possible, it can do it to specific wheels. I only wish I had four channel ABS instead of three, but since I hate TCS I'll live with it ABS has been a proven performer in every area with the exceptions of certain gravel and snow conditions where it's advantageous to form a wedge in front of the tires.

I make it around just fine in the non-ABS equiped cars too but they aren't performance cars

 

GM's low budget Delphi and Bosch units are crap compared to high end cars ABS systems that actually do something. My F550 at works stops faster than my Camaro.
