I bought this thing in October, and it's finally snowed in southeast Pennsylvania. I've been wanting to test the ABS brakes, and I found a 1/2" of snow on the roads. Anyway, the ABS makes a rapid grinding*/pulse in the brake pedal, instead of slower on/off pulse I'm used to with my Jeep's ABS. Is this normal for Celicas?
*Grinding might not be the best word. It's more of a 300 rounds per minute sensation.

yeah its normal, gt4 abs is even more ruthless with the "grinding", feels like a piece of metal breaking off the car. its really good at preventing a slide/hydraplane in an emergency braking situation, depending on tire traction.
if you really find your better off without abs, then you are one of a very small percentage of drivers -------------------- Mike W
