see, this is the miss information i was talking about. you obviously do not know how ABS works.
ABS allows the tires to maintain their maximum tractive forces (about 20% tire slip) by releasing brake pad force when the brakes lock up, an instintanious situation. ABS can pump the pedal much faster than a human, allowing the brakes to ride the lockup threshhold provide the tires with maximum traction by not locking up and slipping 100 %. maximum traction results in minimum stopping distances.
ABS allows an average / crappy driver to stop as good as a professional driver w/out ABS.
