I've done some experiments with my '97 Cadillac Seville STS in slippery conditions. I've found that I can brake faster by "pumping the brakes" than by mashing them and letting the ABS control slip.
Has anyone else experimented with this on their ABS cars? What did you find out? I would expect ABS to be superior, but maybe mine doesn't just because it's old. Does an ABS system lose effectiveness as it gets older? I doubt it. I figure it's more of a "it either works or it doesn't" kind of system. If so, maybe the system installed on '97 Cadillacs just isn't that good.
