Exactly suniel, ABS is no replacement for a good driver...people got by fine for many years without it.

And you shouldn't be driving faster withe traction control on...that would be bad. If you're spinning like mad without TC you're doing something wrong, bottom line. And I don't see what traction control has to do with grip. TC senses wheel slip and cuts throttle to stop it, the same exact thing you can do with your foot..only less precise. On the bimmer, it made the car practically undriveable because the wheels would just shudder trying to get traction. But back to my original point, there is no mechanical replacement for a good driver...I suggest you get more in tune with your vehicles.
