The drifters don't like it because the ABS system always wants to try and straighten you out (i.e. reduce your yaw angle).

The nervousness comes from the system's eagerness towards rear bias in straight line braking. If you go too quickly from full acceleration to full brake before the weight has transferred back to the front axle it will get a little sketchy for a moment as it can't apply enough front brake to make itself happy. I think this mainly stems from the feature they call "Brake Assist", which is were you hit the brakes suddenly but not enough to trigger ABS, and it decides that you really intended to brake at full ABS threshold and so increases the brake pressure to maximum until you back off the pedal.

I find it funny that you got hit with snow before us...lol

Especially since I am in Houston, but it was a very weird set of events. We had moisture from the Gulf of Mexico last night and that cold front the west which allowed us to have early snow.

Red370 12-04-2009 07:55 PM

Yes sir, good ol' Ft. Bliss, those are actually trainee barracks where our soldiers live.

Yea I was there last year for mobilization. But we got stuck in Mcgregor -_- God I hate that place.

Red370 12-04-2009 08:07 PM

Mcgregor sucks, I actually like the city/post here, although the altitude does rob my Z quite a bit.

Zeto 12-04-2009 08:17 PM
