trust me, i've seen plenty of guys who have plenty of track days screw up 9.. i've screwed up 9 in one way or another every time i've been there.

so you're saying that you barely touched the pedal and the car just applied tons of brake by itself? is that common?

most people complain about their car's mythical 'ice mode' as being "i broke normally and the abs kicked in thinking the wheels were locking up when they weren't".. thus the term 'ice mode'.. supposedly the car thinks the fronts are easily locking up (like you were on ice) and ABS kicks in, pulsing like crazy preventing you from stopping in a timely fashion... which in theory would help if you were on ice, but since you're not, it just extends your braking distance... ie. less actual braking.
