1. Braking technique (score: 1): Author: richj50@bit-net.com; Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 12:14:14 -0500 (EST); Assuming that you are driving an ABS equipped car on course in a straight line at 50mph or so approaching a very tight hairpin, what is the best braking technique to slow the car down before entering; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00012.html (7,917 bytes)
2. RE: Braking technique (score: 1): Author: "Miller, Don" <MillerD2@idhw.state.id.us>; Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 10:23:38 -0700; On my Neon (95 Sport with ABS), if I were to do the first scenario, I would go right through the corner in a straight line. I think my car is weird because when the ABS engages, braking goes down by; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00013.html (8,787 bytes)
3. Re: Braking technique (score: 1): Author: "Jeff Winchell" <Jeff@Winchell.Com>; Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 10:45:45 -0800; I thought ABS was supposed to make locking up impossible? Or does it depend on the particular system/car, or perhaps it only prevents lockups in certain situations, which don't include your scenario; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00020.html (7,961 bytes)
4. RE: Braking technique (score: 1): Author: "Jeff Winchell" <Jeff@Winchell.Com>; Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 10:45:45 -0800; I'm a bit confused. Are you choosing method 1 or 2?; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00021.html (8,819 bytes)

6. Re: Braking technique (score: 1): Author: Brian Porter <porterb@mediaone.net>; Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 14:30:57 -0500; I'd say it'd depend on the ABS system and it's performance. For a very bad example, my Chev. Tahoe does a very poor job braking on any surface (it's a tug). Once ABS decides to get involved, it's 10x; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00027.html (9,757 bytes)
7. RE: Braking technique (score: 1): Author: "Mohler, Jeff" <jeff.mohler@wilcom.com>; Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 13:38:07 -0600; My take on ABS is this. You really need to know what the braking threshold of your car is, to brake effectively. ABS is -very- nice when you make a boo-boo, or are on a wet course, but once you get a; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00028.html (9,399 bytes)

RE: Braking technique (score: 1): Author: "Mohler, Jeff" <jeff.mohler@wilcom.com>; Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 13:45:20 -0600; Where some (maybe all) ABS systems suck, is if you are a perfect surface, and you nail ABS. It'll modulate, and on my car at least, you dont get your normal full braking back for quite "some time" in; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00029.html (9,574 bytes)

10. Re: Braking technique (score: 1): Author: washburn <washburn@dwave.net>; Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 20:26:36 -0600; Do some ABS cars really do this? I, being unincumbered by the modern miracles of electro-mechanical assisted braking, assumed that the brake modulation was a tad more discreet than this.

I don't think that the ABS action (or more accurately: reaction) necessarily results in the least braking distance. More control in a panic situat; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00061.html (8,990 bytes)

Re: Braking technique (score: 1): Author: Walter Fooshee <wfooshee@csi.com>; Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 08:39:51 -0600; It's my understanding, and this is from a write-up in a magazine a while back, that GM's ABS is not electronic, but mechanical.

I can attest that the ABS in my 10 year old GM is surely electronic. wheel speed sensors, pressure pump, control solenoids, brake control module...all there...all electronic. a; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00086.html (7,763 bytes)
