  • The pilot sounds sexy

  • Reading some of these comments, you would think ABS is a bad thing.

    Why is that?

  • I love how in drivers ed they dont ever have us do anything like this, or have us come out of a fish tail, and then we teens go and crash and they are like "Oh wow look another stupid teen wrecked his car" Yeah thanks a lot.

  • @sneakyabcd I know right???!!!?? I live in Utah and people have to seriously learn how to drive in snow, cause I swear every time I see some idiot spin out or slide into a curb. lol

  • In Europe, all car built after 2002 must have ABS.

    And same for ESC after 1012 or 2013.

    In USA ist 2011 for both.

  • sentra definatly had an intake.

  • I love car's with ABS

  • This would be fun to do.

  • lol vtec in the honda pilot at 0:52

  • 0:31 VTEC ahaha :D 0:52 VTEC

    Yay lmao

  • the honda is a beast ... my mom has the chrysler pacifica awd... it can stop on a dime thank god for seat belt pre tetioners or id be part of the dash board haha

  • that dsnt mean if u have ABS so u can touch 100 kph in a street...........

  • I just want to floor it at the beginning lol

  • I live in europe.... we have so different driving lessons compared to this vid! We have an instructor that rides with you on the road,(Passenger seat) and learns you driving step by step. Like steering, throttle control, braking, cornering, shifting, Parralel park, and then some! We pay the instructor after each lesson. Also, we drive cars, (Diesel, lPG) Owned by the instructor. Do the students in the u.s bring their own cars?

  • Yes and No. There are many different programs and I believe this one is "private" an not mandatory by the state in which it takes place. While in High School and at age 16 a student can take "Drivers Ed-(Education)", There they teach you all the things you stated. While in the program you use the teachers car...not actually owned by the teacher but by the company that employs him/her. After you complete that program and reach ages 17-18 you take a road test, you drive your own car.

  • Cont.

    You drive your own car on the road test and the "tester" doesn't give you any advice as your being judged on what you have learned. Based on your performance you either pass or fail. Fail=No License.

  • @jnr1989

    Did you know that F1 cars have way more downforce than normal road cars? For most of the people who drive cars, ABS and ESP are a good thing to have! I love cars myself, but let's not forget there are way more people who just want to get from A to B without driving like a racer.

  • @fenrirthecount i understand your point, i accept that people have no interest to get true skills (instead this can save their lifes), but i accept it.

  • True ABS may save your life, until it develops a fault or you drive a car without it, then you realise that ABS just covered up the faults of the driver.

    ABS is a brilliant system but fails to take into account the change in driving skill and style as drivers adapt to it.

  • Even good driver cant evenr replace ABS. Benefits of it example in winter driving are remarkable.

    Tell me, which car has 4 different brake pedals, own for each tire, and how can driver press each of them independetly trying to avoid locking?!?

    The best feature of ABS is on icy corner, some kind of animal walks over the road. Without ABS you easily crash on something, with ABS surviving is much more possible. Even a good driver, cant do the thing that ABS does. Unpossible.

  • Cont.

    About fault: Every part on car can have a failure. Even the bolt's that are holding the tire. Still, if you do the service, there is no need to scare failures.

  • True ABS can modulate pressure several times a second to all brakes independantly, something which a driver could never do.

    There are places where ABS does not help and these include winter driving conditions, mainly in snow where locking your wheels will help you stop faster due to the locked wheels causing snow to build up in front of them adding resistance.

  • continued

    The point of my comment was to show that people get a false sense of security and lose the skill of threshold braking (something I wish I was taught when I took my test, rather than just "push the brake as hard as you can and don't back off"). People start to feel that they could drive a little bit faster upto and brake a little latter because "ABS will let me steer and brake at the same time" and "I can't lock up" so some of its advantage is lost.

    same goes for ESP/ESC

  • Yes. Thats true, that in some cases on snow weather, locking the wheels would actually be faster way to stop. :) I think VW was developing ABS system that actually locks the brakes for awhile to get snow front of the tire slowing the speed.

    Yes, I agree with you about the false feel of security.

  • it doesn't help too much in snow, unless it's only like 1inch & theres good road beneath (not ice), but you are right about helping in certain conditions. Gravel is the big one that comes to mind for me. ABS will 5x your stopping distance on gravel from 100mph. I had to get it taken out of my subaru. Stupid computer almost killed me.

  • SQUEAK!

  • my ford escape has ABS it stoped like the honda pilot

  • the big white SUV was awesome, it obviously has ABS

  • The Black Sentra did well for non abs car

  • nice vid

  • We can see very well the difference between ABS and normal brakes. Amazing.

  • So are those cars the students, and if they are that would suck having to pay for new tires and brake jobs afterwards!

  • lol that would be pretty shitty!
