This works really wel. It's also fun to have no abs, it saved me a few times being able to lock up all four wheels and just slide straight on.

Pulled ABS fuse is best. We were doing this a few years back with these cars because of the same issues.

It is possible, but not for a long time. I tried it allot of times and i noticed once i start left foot braking the power is almost gone.
i believe this is due tot the fact that with the abs fuse pulled, the brake bias regulation is gone causing a 50/50 brake force distribution.

The car makes 130 wheel torque. Applying the brakes is going to slow the rear wheels down, and with only 130wtq, you can't expect to hold the brakes down and keep the wheel speed up.

Perhaps I just suck at left foot braking.  |
Left foot braking should only be done very briefly. If you're holding it down for like 4-5 seconds, you did something wrong. I always like to say "pulse the brake pedal when left foot braking" with these cars when you're running stock power. Best time to use it to make fine, small adjustments to your car's position when you're chasing in tandem. Can do it when you're running solo too, but remember that even though you're still on throttle, the vehicle speed is slowing down while you're on the brake, killing momentum.

Is this possible? (electronically or mechanically)

Easiest way is change pads. Run pads up front that have strong initial bite and don't require a lot of travel in the brake pedal. Run stock on the rear.

Stock power at this moment so torque dip is being a pain in my ass, but this will be solved next month.

Squared setup would be much more beneficial.
