A good driver is more important than ABS when it comes to stopping distances.
That said... ABS will keep somebody from chewing up a set of soft race tires on the track and save some cash but give me non-ABS any day of the week.
For most people I would rather them *HAVE* ABS... My kids will drive cars with ABS when they start driving.. I will let them loose on the AutoX course and test track without it and let them learn how to really drive but until they have to pay their own insurance and for their own wrecks I won't allow them to drive non-ABS cars on the street.
as for the "Youngest" CEG member. Your lack of age shows. Chill. you do need ABS. I have driven in all sorts of places with all sorts of conditions. I will take a 2wd FWD car (pref. with LSD) and NO ABS any day over the techno-cars.
F1 cars have the neat tricks but they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get the systems right. street cars have systems that will not allow the automakers to be sued... they aren't a substitue for a good driver.
