AGAIN, THIS GUY IS ASKING FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO REMOVE THE SYSTEM NOT OPINIONS ON WHETHER HE SHOULD

Have you ever firmly stepped on the brakes and you are stopping just fine, and then the ABS comes on and you learch forward and almost smack the guy in front of you?
One time, I was sitting at a red light waiting to turn right. The light turned green and I pulled out. Then this crazy guy in a truck ran the red light, swerved to miss another car, and was coming right for me. I really needed to move quick so I hit the gas and the stupid anit skid came on and locked my throttle. I was a sitting duck. It made a bad situation much worse. Fortunately the guy swerved off the road and missed me, but it was real close. Just my experiences.

In rare occurances seatbelts have been known to cause death too!!!
It is to easy to press the ASR button and remember that when you sell the car that mod my cost you $$$.
But if it annoys you that much and you are an A-type
personality, disconnect the ASR cable from the throttle body.
