I know from autocrossing different cars in my class that cars with ABS can stomp on the brakes ALOT later than I can. I drove a Prelude Si with ABS and I was amazed at how late I could brake. In my car the brakes would lock up and I would slide past my turning point.

EDIT: Altough my car is lighter than the others in my class So I can brake about the same time as they can.
