did anyone else notice that? on the left it looks like a traction control/stability control button, but on the right, it looks like an ABS on/off button???

my bad. i thought it made more sense in this forum and didn't see it here, so... anyway, i read the other thread and as far as the discussion regarding having an ABS-off feature...

my truck disables ABS when i engage my rear diff lock, so i don't think it would be a legality issue. it'd be nice if it toggled through different ABS levels, as stated previously. maybe normal-sport-snow-off.

-Mike

what's the point of different abs levels?

not different levels, just on or off i think, for track work for instance

different levels for differing road conditions/driving styles. the ideal amount of lock is different on dry roads or snow. on a track you want more lock than on the street. and some of us might want to practice threshold braking with the ABS turned off.

-Mike

on wet condition you may want to turn that ABS on, but best way to appreciate ABS is to practice on a non ABS car thats why the AE86 is a great teacher makes you enhance the feel or understand the brake feed back and teaches you how to react on a wheel lock.

I am a big fan of being able to turn off all driver aids and learning how to actually drive the car yourself. An esp/ tc system that can be turned off completely is a must for me. I have never seen a car with an abs off button, but it sounds like a great idea.

yeah, that's the first time i've seen an ABS off button. it will be interesting to see if that makes production, and exactly what it does. like i said up there, my truck disables ABS when i have my rear diff locked, but that's different...

-Mike

i doubt it will make it to production, but it's still a fun idea.

i could see the benefit of having the ABS off button on the subaru AWD version of the FT if it doesn't disable the EBC. For off-roading in gravel and ice ABS can be a hassle to deal with, many offroad vehicle owners pull the ABS fuse to disable ABS during competitions.

It wont make into production because when susy with her chewing gum buy the car and gets in an knocks the button into off mode with her handbag and has a crash because she didn't know how to stop she will sue and get millions... but would be an awesome idea!
