I'm not sure if I would describe mine as "slight skid" or "whining of the tires" - its a loud loud skid. But its not a sustained skid. As I mentioned, 99.99% of the time, the abs doesn't come on after that (if no increase in brake pedal pressure).

It's embarrasingly loud.

I did have a sustained skid once with the tail swinging out, but since changing the abs sensors and the engine mount (that seem to affect stability quite alot), haven't happened again. That time was on an emergency emergency stop at lower speeds even...

Should you not have ABS, you will have to come off the brakes to "break and avoid" an obstacle or you will slide into said obstacle
