Hardly. I'll train you to beat yer ABS in 15 minutes. And with practice,
you'll never get into yer ABS again, even in a panic stop.

Go to an SCCA drivers school and watch the novices in street car classes
where disabling the ABS is against the rules. The ones going deepest
into the corners never activate the ABS.

ABS is like synchros, nice for the soccer moms but a waste for the drivers.

And it's expensive, overly complex, and of marginal value even to those
that don't want to learn to drive.
