Abs off...why?

[Sachelle Babbar <sbabbar@iris.nyit.edu>]

Why were the 86 and up turbos made with an abs off switch? Were there any
other models/makes that had this feature? If I were to drive one with the
abs off, would I have an easier time locking up the brakes (compared to a
non abs car) because the system is optimized for abs use?

My current turbo doesn't have abs and the braking control is excellent. In
almost all conditions, I can keep it on the edge of lockup with no lockup.
