200tq ABS problem?

[Larry C Leung]

ABS wasn't designed to handle that situation. Done the same with my 200Q.
If it's glare ice, I found that the ABS won't allow the car to stop, I
guess one wheel is always trying to lock, then another and so forth.
Manually modulated brakes and judicious use of speed seem to work best
here. Note directional control does drop when the ABS is off. I think
that the early generaltion ABS on these vintages of (all) cars (and our's
is 3 channel, not four) isn't up to today's standards.
