abs dont make the car stop faster on ice or snow, what its does is keep the wheels from fully locking up and this lets you steer the car still. other then that it sucks in winter. id rather control the brakes my self. anyone who has nailed the brakes in snow and the pedal just pulses under your foot will tell you the car just kept on trucking like the brakes were never applied. its a helpless feeling at best.
if its dry out, abs is just fine, better then non abs cars for sure, because you can just slam on them with out any locking up.
i dont feel it in my regal, but my old 03 gmc truck, if you nailed the brakes in a holly crap deal, you could feel and hear each wheel lock up for a split second then move to the next wheel with in a second. so the split second lock up would rotate to the next wheel. on dry ground.
in snow, it stopped like a champ due to the 800 lb plow on the front and a load of salt in the bed and bf goodrich a/t tires. with out all the plow and payload in the bed, it sucked for stopping. same as a car.
