Cayenne turbo brakes!

I've never raced a car with anti-lock brakes, can you "activate" the ABS system in every braking zone? My gut feeling is that "getting into" the ABS that often will overheat the system, and brake fluid.

activating the ABS on a race track generally results in LONGER braking distances. good drivers will seek to reach, but not breach, impending lockup.

my buddy was not liking the ABS behavior in his EVO, so he removed the fuse & went out on track at road atlanta. hilarity ensues:

moral of the story: leave the fuse IN

Thanks for the info. I'll have to try the ABS fuse trick on my truck. It wouldn't stop worth a damn in the snow last winter, because the ABS cuts in way too early.
