 other models/makes that had this feature >>

My '87 5KsQ had that feature...............With the ABS off, under certain
conditions such as snowy roads and gravel roads the stopping distance is
actually shorter.  This is due to the build up of snow or gravel in front of
the locked tires....offering more resistance thus shortening the forward
travel.
