CRallo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Give up pwr/weight to MAYBE brake later... More consistent / less risk of a flat spot or other error... What is the general consensus? Are the top guys running ABS? What about Ford Racing ABS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKBITN Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The only ABS worth having in AI is the Ford Racing stuff,take the hp on all other cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbodleimages Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 depends on what you want to do down the road. nobody racing in conti or pwc or trans am are racing a mustang or Camaro wthout the abs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have a option to benefit someplace else if no abs in those series that you mention Rob? If I was building a front running ai from nothing . it would not have abs. I would take the power and hope it doesn't rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbodleimages Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I am not sure what your question is, steve. as far as I know taking your abs out in those series does not return you a benefit in return. I also know these cars can run scca t1 and t2. I think you can take the abs out if you want but you don't get something in return edit: I think its a good idea to have all the hp you can get even if that means carrying extra weight. so if you don't have to carry weight, its even better. I just don't like messing with a perfectly reliable package. so, yea. If I am building from scratch for AI, I build it without the abs. if I am buying a gs or a gts ford racing car, I leave the abs alone.

Members Marshall M. Posted March 31, 2014 Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 I've had ABS on my AI car for 9 seasons. SN95 ABS from 2005-2011 and FR ABS from 2012-2014... I've driven without it, but prefer it as I can use that extra mental ability to work on other areas of my racecraft and/or car setup. In TX the majority of our guys have ABS. It's a mix of 4th Gen GM's running their stock ABS and Mustangs running a mix of stock ABS and FR ABS. It's really personal preference on what you want to run at the end of the day. We have NOT had a rain race in a few years, so I can't vouch for my FR ABS' ability in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
