i have to add another coment on this thread..................were talking about some1 who has a sports car(experienced or not)and there brakes lock up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as far as i can remember back the majority of family cars never mind sports cars have A.B.S. brakes................yes that means anti-lock brakes so if the brakes lock up you must either be going side ways or driving on ice,a little lesson for the boy who has the sporty car( or had!)to go find a spare piece of land and find out your own handling limits before you put the foot down on a road where you put other peoples lives at risk,damn especially with friends in the car
