Jack,

There has been a fair amount of discussion, on both sides, regarding
dry stopping distances. I always felt I could get a car hauled down
faster without ABS. But there are some pretty good engineers on this
NG that assure me that the later generation ABS, with it's high cycle
rates, can beat a good driver with good threshold braking techniques.

The other thing is locking up while trying to steer out of a mess is a
lot easier than trying to threshold and do the same..
