Default ABS technology - how good?

I was wonder how good the ABS units is our cars?

Example, the ASR seems primiative compared to newer corvette transaction units. What about our ABS units? Were they changed between the years?

If I am not mistaken, the C4 ABS units are made by Bosch.

I'm fairly sure the C4 ABS units were updated in later years -- I think 1995.

Here's the application chart -- Search the page for "Corvette."
