[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1394815, member: 13519"] You guys do realize that properly working ABS allows the tires to stop, but only for very short intervals? I used to determine vehicle speeds by skid marks left by cars with ABS, all the time. I even got into a huge pissing match with a civil attorney who tried to claim I was full of shit, because his clients car with full ABS wouldn't leave skids. It did, and they do. They look like a ladder: tons of faint black lines. Remember, until the tire locks up, the computer doesn't know how much traction there really is, so they lock, release, lock, release, repeat, until the vehicle stops or the brake pressure is reduced. Smelling rubber after a hard ABS induced stop is perfectly normal, as is soiled underwear in some cases! [/QUOTE]
