but no i have never even attempted for any reason to LFB myself, but i dont really track either

On the Base model I think you disablesrhw brake lights. But on the vdc cars you had to kill power to the abs/vdc module. This was done for drag racing purposes where having abs or brake lights isn't all that critical.

Not sure they're crucial for the road either...oh wait.

I guess I'll just keep working on my left foot clutching

If this can be disabled with pulling a fuse, that's a BIG plus for me! I'll have to check into it more...

As an autoxer, I learned LFB several years back...over a winter of constantly doing so....and its now second nature on the course, although I do have to think about it when getting into a corner where a down shift is needed, which isn't very often...

But, there are definitely advantages to doing so in autox...where you can stay on the gas and use the brake to trail brake into a corner, settle the car in slaloms, scrub just a bit of speed without lifting, etc....

pulling a fuse for ABS is legal in class!

You need to buy a spare fuse module (it's a 3-in-1 fuse) so that you can cut the fuse for the ABS without pulling the whole module. If you pull the whole module you will disable VVEL and won't be able to rev above 3000 rpm!
