ABS Kicked in?!?!
Today the fool in front of me decided to go from 80 to 0 in a blink. I kinda floored my brakes and my car skids a little on and off, instead of a continuous tires lock skid. Does that mean the ABS kicked in? Cause I didn't feel any pulsation on the brake pedal. I did use the gear lever to downshift due to my quick instinct, so that helps bring this beast to a complete stop with no problem. Kinda impressed with this car's stopping capabilities, the car tracks straight! 
This was not on a normal asphalt road by the way, it's one of those white surface thing, I don't know what it's called, which is more slippery I guess.. and I was in Sport+ too, didn't notice any nose dive like normal cars would.

ABS are better now. Electronic/solenoids are so well designed and react so fast versus what was used in the past. You're not going to feel the pulses like before.
