ABS pulsates the brakes providing less stopping power and no lock up, no?

ANY braking there will lighten the rear end and cause it to step out. Thus the whole "brake in a straight line" theory.

And it only applied to the left caliper?

It was more braking than I wanted. It was probably both fronts but the left front was loaded so I felt it much more on the left front. Bear in mind we are talking about super super super light pedal pressure here, not even close to threshold, I just needed to slow down a few mph. The amount of pressure applied by the ABS was more than I wanted and more than the car wanted obviously. I hope this doesn't come out sounding like a ****, this wasn't my first track day and certainly not my first time at this track. I am aware of the principles of braking.
