not what im whatting about... ABS isnt a neccesary thing in order for a car to be used correctly... infact if your needing your ABS your not driving correctly and within the constraints set by your tyres.... in other words you have become traction limited and will be unable to corner as well as if you have better tyres on regardless if your using your ABS system

Oh right. So we might as well remove the seatbelts and airbag as well because if we need to use them then we're not driving correctly.

Airbags are for wimps and posers who use them on their suspension... seat belts are for familys... men use harnesses

In all honesty, I can see where you're coming from on purely a performance level. Just think that for a (predominantly) road going car, ABS is a desired safety feature. I've got harnesses too ;)

Is a harness a performance mod then?

No, the car will perform exactly the same with or without a harness. However, it may improve the performance of the driver
