[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 7023390, member: 11681"] David, I had to learn true threshold braking during my brief 5 years of campaigning a D/S 78 Ford Fiesta Ice racer, and negotiating the streets of Syracuse, NY in the winter for 27+ years. It is an extremely valuable tool that all good drivers should learn. All of my driving prior to owning a 99 Navigator and then an 04 Cobra was on non ABS cars. I still use the pedal modulation method to minimize the ABS intervention, it is less upsetting to my rather softly sprung car. I LOVE the ABS because it is easy to read and saves my keester and tires in the event of a malfunctioning driver,:-D tires, or un-noticed track surface anomalies. I use a very similar technique to yours except that I let the slight ABS pulse in the pedal tell me that I have asked too much of my tires at that point in time. I have found that it is NEARLY ALWAYS THE INSIDE REAR LIFTING OFF THE GROUND. Not all ABS systems are the same(captain obvious here:rollseyes), but the system in my 04, I really like, and I feel it is very easy to tell when it's "trippin" and when it's not, making braking intensity and depth adjustments quite easy. I really don't think it's at all intrusive. If something expensive failed on it I would definitely fix it. Edit: On the rotate issue I just lift a little more and the car turns in. If that fails, there's always a drift fix( [COLOR="Red"]Too much power, is more often than not, almost enough[/COLOR]) just to keep from going off, but that costs time and next time around I try to just get it right on the stick in. 2nd EDIT: Greyasp I agree with you that on a very bumpy surface the ABS can grow quite annoying. I find that I have learned which ABS trips are worthy of a brake application adjustment and which ones are just a lifted inside rear wheel of a bad section of track.
