Threshold braking is the human poor equivalent to ABS, the main difference
being that humans can only modulate the wheel that first locks and then
only by sound or chassis feel, rather than knowing the ACTUAL wheel speed
vs. ground speed. Important because best traction on dry pavement is
obtained with the tire braking speeds 8 - 30% slower than ground speed,
depending on tire compound. Alternatively in threshold braking, you can
choose to ignore the locked wheel in favor of modulating the wheels with
the most traction which are probably still turning. Unfortunately, the
meatware providing the servo action is equipped with only two legs, either
one or both to simultaneously operate two braking circuits (on cars built
67 or later)--when the requirement is really four separate braking circuits
and four legs. Worse than a compromise. The parallel processing ability of
the meatware would be far exceeded if the physical requirements WERE met,
rendering the discussion even more moot.
Cliff's Notes: Learn how to drive with ABS or make individual braking circuits for each wheel and grow two additional legs
Note: I still think the K-series is the most interesting swap.
