I would love an adjustable rear bias valve. But haven't found a suitable replacement for the stock Porsche parts which require swapping the valve to change bias.
When I was running my BMW at Summit Point part of my pre-race prep was pulling the ABS and trac fuses. These systems are reactionary and actually screw me up. The systems have no Idea I am about to start easing off the clutch in second while hitting the brakes from triple digit speeds. Nothing feels better than a maneuver like that and having the ABS decide to do it's thing
