hell no. if you are, it can maybe, possibly, explain the skewed view you have on some things. having a condition that impairs your learning abilities, even by a tiny little, is not a laughing matter.
what the hell kind of an argument is that?
equating the safety of someone who relies on abs... with the safety of someone who ignores it?
you don't understand that you, as a human, can not do what abs does, do you?
you still haven't understood what abs can do.
when you do (if you do)... we can talk again.
seriously now, are you dyslexic?
words go wasted with people like you, but someone else might "get" something so i will try to say it.
abs is not a luxury. it can do things the driver can not do. you may try to come up with cases where the abs might be fooled and that in some special case stopping distance might be shorter with locked wheels, but in reality it is seldom clear if you would be better off with locked or unlocked wheels . what you have constructed in your mind about what will happen when this and that happens... is very rarely met in real life.
i've driven cars with and without abs. on track and on the road. that didn't teach me much.
i've driven on snow gravel mud oil water ice. that didn't teach me a lot either.
i've attended (and paid for) driving safety and car control seminars. that was when i understood what it means to have abs and what you have to do to even try to match abs in realistic driving conditions. and even then it can not be enough.
abs is a life saver and if you think you can do controlled braking when that time comes... you are grossly overestimating the abilities of man. not you. man.
you might ponder stuff before hitting the brake... last time i had to brake because i saw something get in front of me, i didn't even understand when my foot went to the brake. i didn't think about it. i reckognized the obstacle to be a dog after i braked.
if someone understands what does this mean, even one of you, i'll be very pleased.
also showing me a bunch of moronic drivers isn't an argument for or against abs or anything. these guys you see would be as dangerous with or without abs as they would be with or without a steering wheel.

uh
you have no chance to outperform abs, not because you don't have the ability to do so, but simply because you don't have that much control with your single foot pedal.
why do i think that you have no idea what abs can do?
also, what kind of argument is that people were able to drive cars without abs? cars didn't have lots of things in the past. that doesn't mean shit.

i meant bickering about realism for a car they will never get to drive in real life
and in this thread we can observe how LFSers are bickering about something they haven't used and most probably never will.
i dun geddit :|
not a big fan of us cars
well ok except the firebird.
and kitt.

ui am astonished you haven't locked this thread yet.

i don't know wth you guys are getting at, but you are starting to lose every smidgen of coherence.

there isn't that much MORE smoke than what you can see in lfs.
the ferocity with which you approach this matter ("too little smoke in lfs") is really not at all matching the importance of the issue (it's just smoke, there are more important things right now).

Reason : important word missing.
dadge, he is right that in an lfs race there is much less smoke than in real life, be it when locking brakes, when oversteering, crashing, etc.
but it's not something that is pressuring the devs right now.

the sheet metal can't give off smoke. the paint on it maybe, something bursting maybe, smoke from the tyres previously trapped inside the car getting out maybe.
but a metal grinded giving off that much smoke? nah

you might have a tuner but not a ricer or racer, because you can tune it for other things.
you can rice a car but not tune it or prepare it for a race
and you can have a racer without being a ricer (of course) or tuning it, by buying a race-ready car.
i don't see any confusion.

that one is already in this thread
look
your car/truck is nice and powerful and taken care of... whatever.
but it isn't even related to a hatchback, let alone a "hot" hatchback (slightly irrelevant note: i don't even like the phrase 'hot hatchback'. i'm using it solely for communication purposes.)
and, dunno if you noticed, we're talking about the car. not the driver. you can go in a moped and try to race and get killed. or drive a koenigsegg and go about perfectly legaly and safely.

i'd say bannination from a race is quite relevant to the excuses given by someone who crashes.
it might be pretend cars, but the arguments that start flying around when someone gets banned are pretty real and the admin's position is not very easy.
i always have my ultra emergency 100 DVD spindle kept in a safe dark airtight enclosure with regulated humidity and temperature
i am not supposed to answer anything.
all i say is that it's your responsibility that you are properly prepared to race... and everything else is an excuse.
you are not suddenly absolved of responsibility. from your point of view it might be reasonable to think so, but... it doesn't matter.
"my brakes gave up and crashed in the guy in front!!!"
yeah sure, you're still at fault. end of story.
harsh, i know.
