ABS questions

[ppk]

As I'm sure you know, ABS prevents the wheels from locking. In certain *cough* off-road situations it is sometimes desirable to lock the wheels for a short time to upset the balance of the car and throw it sideways. Let's just say I love to kick the little yaris around in the snow

Locking the wheels means loss of traction. Loss of traction means your weight will balance out again, because the wheels aren't slowing down the car as much as it could. So your weight will go on the rear wheels again. Not in a large amount, but it will.

An e-brake pull hard enough will produce the same results that I'm sure you're looking for.
