Singpilot- the down shift issue is a real problem (got into a real argument with here about this once) because in a panic (or usually racetrack braking) its possible, if you stuff up a dwonshift, to briefly compression lock (chirp) the rears. This, coupled with the fact that the weight of the car is on the front wheels and off the rears, and you may be starting to turn in- is often enough to invoke the famous 911 pendulum lift off oversteer, and send you spearing off the road backwards....
Had an interesting chat recently with a pilot friend about ABS on his 747s..the difference being ofcourse, the engines arent driving the wheels.
