If you know how to drive, especially if you've had some training with brake modulation (ahem = racing experience) -- non ABS is way better.

EVERY DRIVER should have to do this to get their license, IMO:

In general, race cars don't use ABS. More control without it.
Sorry man, but take a trip up to the great white north and try driving in a snow storm where you don't know weather you're driving on slush, snow, ice, or wet asphalt and have someone slide out in front of you and tell me you don't need ABS for every day emergency situations. When you have less than 1 second to react by braking and steering to avoid getting hit head on, you don't want to have to worry about preventing your wheels from locking because you can't turn with your wheels locked.
