the only way i can think that the ABS would use would be a hall effect sensor (magnet on the shaft/wheel that spins past a coil giving an electric pulse per rotation).... im not aware of other methods of detecting wheel lock? know you got me second guessing myself lol ill try find out :)

I find that in the dry, the VSA doesn't really kick in until its highly provoked. I've had instances where I'm understeering during a corner (accelerator off, or after apex, powering on again), and the Euro has understeered too much to be dangerous enough, but without activating the VSA.

In the wet, it doesn't take as much to activate the VSA! Its definitely better than human reflexes.
