I just don't agree with all the remote computer controlled systems on cars these days such as ABS and Traction control. There's no need to buy a car you can't control (even tho many of us do) and I am a firm believer in learning to feel your car and know it's limitations completely. Computers WILL fail, which is beyond your control. Learn to control the vehicle yourself and you will be less likely to find yourself in a situation you can't recover from.
I hate ABS and disconnect it on my vehicles. While it does attempt to keep the car under control under panic braking, those who like to drive agressivaly all the time find it unpredictable and can cause more panic when it decides to kick in. Basically I'm just saying for those ppl who know their vehivle and constantly push their car to the limit it is fairly unneccessary as they will know the optimum braking point and feel the car as oppossed to those who dont know the limitations of their cars.
