My $0.42: unless you are a well seasoned racecar driver who is used to driving non-ABS equipped cars at their limits, you simply can't outdrive an ABS equipped car.

Those who have mastered the technique of threshold braking on non-ABS equipped cars are able to modulate the breaking pressure better than an ABS system, since the ABS system tries to copy the analog effect of threshold breaking by digitizing the breaing (rapid pulsating on-off breaking).

Lots of modern racecars are ABS equipped. I guess that means that either it does a better job, or even racecar drivers nowadays aren't that good at braking.

I have an ABS equipped 944S2 that I track - since I've never had any significant track experience with a non-ABS equipped car, I suspect that I would not fair too well without this driver's aid. That said, ABS has saved my skin a couple of times out on the track...
