ABS Not working?, rawr Options

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

ok look, today i was going like 35-45 down a street right and than i thought about abs and if it really works, so i slammed on the breaks, kept the foot there and the wheels locked and made a skidding noise and it smelled like burned rubber, i dont know if this is abs or not, really never experienced it, is there something wrong wiht my abs?

having abs makes your insurance go down a bit.

but i've heard that f1 drivers prefer non-abs brakes (something about feeling themselves to be more sensitive than the abs computer). could make sense given that they can see the course around them and brake according to what they're about to drive over.

A lot of racers prefer to have non abs setups. First off it saves weight, is less complicated to work on, and you have total control of the brakes. I prefer not to have ABS in my cars.

for normal road driving it would be good to have but not worth putting it in if you don't already have it.

although if you were in a place where you get snow or even freezing rain, then you'll probably need it.

This is true too, if your car is just going to be a daily driver in a lot of snow and freezing rain then yeah, ABS may be to your advantage to have if you don't know how to handle your car.
