Beg to differ here. The brakes are OK but the ABS sucks on anything less than and very smooth road.I agree with speedyk, I had the ABS upgrade and now you can lock the brakes just momentarily, the old ABS would'nt let get do that at all. The brakes are really good now.

ABS has prevented one incident for me in the VX but nearly caused at least 2 others before I adapted my driving style.

You tried a standard N/A? If you think the VXT set-up is questionable, you're in for an (unpleasant) surprise.
Orig. set-up was a huge disadvantage on track. With VXT-style upgrade now no longer feel a need to do ABS switch-off mod.
Intend to get the 4-pot upgrade and wider rims and rubber, then see if ABS disturbs.

No need to apologise!I do not deny the original N/A ABS was worse, but I stand by my comments Speedy. Sorry.
If I thought the set-up was world-class, I wouldn't be looking to upgrade.
But put it this way – with the orig. set-up on track, the ABS was the biggest restriction in my little battles against various Porsche. With the upgrade, I find I am no longer at such a disadvantage in slowing – the problem is clearly now speeding up on the straights! But that needs quite another solution.

ooooh oooh can I have that thenii) The only ABS that works well on a track is sitting on the Opel DTM Calibras (RIP)
Oh and whilst I'd like to say I invented the cut off switch credit has to go to the Palmersport boys (I just polished the idea a bit )

So Stu - what do YOU honestly think of the ABS?Stop
2 very minor points :
i)Rockstar had little to do with setting this car up
ii) The only ABS that works well on a track is sitting on the Opel DTM Calibras (RIP) etc....
Carry On
Stu
Upgraded or not...
cheers
