Well I am calmed down now from my experience this morning when I came over a hill and a hundred yards away a dog was licking a package of bacon on the edge of the road. I honked my horn so he would run off away and what does he do, runs right in front of me. fricken stupid dog So I slammed on my brakes at fifty and let me tell ya with no abs on my stang I found my self in a spin. I got to admit I was inpressed with how it hugged the road during the skid. I got out expecting to see my back tires riped from the rims but those traction T/A's held up good on dry pavement.
Sure wish I had anti-lock brakes now.

fomoco shame on you for not putting abs on all cars. especially with discs all the way around.

I didn't know cars didn't come with abs brakes. I thought it was standard on all cars now.

Is the dog ok???

Yip the dog is OK, I think he was just as shook up as I was cause he was sitting on the other side of the road just staring at me afterwards. I think the bacon come from a dumpster area half a mile away.

I have noticed that anti-lock brakes come in the Pony package on the 06 v6's but yea it's optional.
imo it should be mandatory.

My ABS saved my a$$ several times, once on the freeway doin 80mph and some dick in a truck decided to come into my lane with out signaling and me laying on the horn at him to let him know I was there. Think he was mad cuz I was playing with a vette...not racing just keepin up with him, we were playin who's ahead of who in a decent sort of way, not causing anyone trouble. Can't say enough about the brakes they put on the 05's.

At 50mph you were able to tell the dog was eating bacon?

Anti-lock brakes are for s.

I had a 67 GTX, 440, no ps, no pb, 4 wheel drums. That was an adventure.
