thats what i do. lets say i am on the brake pedal hard at 95% at threshold braking, i just let off slightly to let say 90% to get rid of it and reapply hard again. the problem is worse with grippier pads, i dont know if slicks make the problem worse. i have re11, not sure if less grippy tires will do it easier or not.

one thing i know that is helpful is to hit the brakes slightly less hard. so instead of let say put 30 ft lb at the pedal, i would hit it with 20 ft lb of force. you still go all the way down on the brakes, you just have to hit it less hard initially to not flip the abs out. its the same reason why race pads hate the stock abs since they bite so hard and fast

i am with chris on the first point, but i am not sure if heat has anything to do with it ( i am not saying it doesnt, just saying i am not sure). you abuse the brakes way more at the track, you cant even compare a 135mph to 43mph turn to two 60 sec run to an autox.

this problem is not unqiue to the 370, 350 and corvettes have it too.
