You may be able to perform maneuvers you can't with ABS on, and ABS can disrupt things like making an aggressive breaking turn, but when it comes to pure breaking you won't out perform ABS. This is especially true with newer systems that combine accelerometer data along with the wheel sensors.

Can't wait for the "Last Chase", hope that I'm the one driving.

I love driving for fun, but I'll admit I will be happy when we get self driving cars. Who wouldn't love to just kick back and read or watch a movie on their rush hour commute.
