Yea I've had to use it a few times. Like one time on hulen I was switching lanes and lo and behold the lane I'm switching to isn't moving and well I am at like 35 already and slammed on the brakes and not once did I have any doubt I'd be able to stop. I'll say this even with the craptenza's I always feel confident she's gonna do whatever I need her to do in an emergency situation

Which is a good thing. Still have yet to get rid of that drive really aggresively thing I learned in iraq lol

You guys are forgetting other important capabilities. Standard on all Zs.

Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist come standard on all 350Zs. Just like it sounds, Electronic Brake-force Distribution improves stopping performance by dynamically balancing front and rear braking forces. Brake Assist is a mechanical system that applies full braking if it senses an emergency-braking situation where the driver has not stepped hard enough on the brake pedal to engage the ABS.

yea if anything it increases stopping distance, and its not just about slippery climates, but prevents you from locking your wheels allowing you to turn still

if you had slammed on your brakes and swearved around here then the abs would have saved you
