My take on it...

you will see MANY if not ALL of the *new* cars (ie that 06 honda civic SI that was recently classed), HAVING to dissable the ABS/stability control. If not have fun dealling with the brake issues it creates.

And same goes for the 2010+ Mazda products.. You don't remove/dissable/re-pumb the car and you will be sent into limp mode often.

I am sure Greg could speak further on some of the issues that the VW where having.... (i think he was around at that time).

IMO you have a few years where the ABS systems where/are good, and still work in the IT type race car enviornment.

The new cars?? Yep not so much, people are going to be dissabiling them because they make things worse.

ABS an advantage?? I'd dissagree, especially in a FWD car where the rear tires lock up long before the fronts it is IMO a disadvatage.

What is an advatage?? installing a rear brake bias valve THOSE things rock!
