go out to a solo2/autocross event and you will see why ABS sucks.
iirc, what ABS technically does is brake until the point where your brakes lock and then releases it before it locks then brakes it again, and goes through the same sequence until your vehicle has slowed down.
I've been to a few autoX events and have seen how cars with ABS and cars w/o ABS performed when it came to stopping or slowing down.
5.0 Mustangs and corvettes usually seem to fair well when it came to stopping b/c their wheels just lock and stop them dead on as compared to some of the imports at the autoX.
I don't know if this is the same reason nrcooled hates ABS or not, but this is my reason I hate it.
