btw where i really noticed the lines difference was in the snow/ice conditions (first thing in the mourning)

btw the best one is the GM one with the motors instead of the solenoids Lol


be nice to know, but only thing i could think of is with a different firmware/program
That's what I'm thinking too. I guess I can dream though.

ABS is a nice backup for any driver of any skill in a stock car. Even the best of drivers can tend to panic in an emergency situation, especially on the streets. Even if you can threshold brake, chances are you've practices on a smooth, dry surface. Most city roads are beat to shit, and if you get any sort of hop, brakes lock up, flat spot once you hit the ground again.

It's nice being a good driver, but part of being a good driver is knowing your limits, and accepting backup when you exceed them.

I've only flatspotted the tires once by accident. I was in a group of cars that ended up in a massive pileup. I've always run sticky rubber up front in this car. When I first jammed on the brakes they locked and I backed out and back on extremely quickly but that was all it took to flatspot them. I barely made the stop in time but other than the initial lock, I kept them right at the threshold the entire time even though cars were wrecking everywhere. But on the bright side, I got to switch the fronts to the rear temporarily to make them round again lol. For a car that has some of the worst brakes vs power ratio, they are extremely easy to modulate.

since really as the driver, not much you have to actually have to do, other then slam on the brakes
