Yes I'm using the Bosch M4 racing ABS system. Works great and has a laptop interface. It is not inexpensive but it does work very well. With the carbon ceramic brakes on Hellfire the ABS system performed flawlessly. The brake feel was as good as a Z/28 (2014).

Hey Mark, great build as always.
I've been following your builds since The Mule, they just keep getting better and better.
Do you still have any of the parts that you removed from the car?
I've been watching the for sale section but I haven't seen anything posted.
PM me and let me know what you have left if any.

Thanks.

Keith Quinn.

Awesome as always, Mark!

Unfortunately as it has garnered more exposure this seems to be the trend and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. It has definitely made certain decisions about my Firebird's build direction a lot easier...

There is this if still available... Stielow Garage Sale II Link

Garage Sale I was a fire sale. Mark really helped out the Lat G community with the take-offs from JA posting on 1/09/15.

Thanks for the link, looks like everything is gone.
Oh well, next time.

Mark, may I ask how the ABS system will help the brake feel? I'm using the ZR1 brakes on my build as well but wasn't aware they would be grabby, is that just the nature of carbon brakes?

They are fine without abs for street driving but on the track under hard braking the grip will really ramp up during a hard decel. At Motorstates challenge I locked them up and slid thru the grass. Same turn they started to lock up on Stielow but he was smart enough to take his foot off the pedal. For track use without abs I was going to swap in steel rotors so I wouldn't have the lockup issue.

Today's update.

Mark if you get a chance it would be nice to see a little detail on the trans cross-member. That really frees up space for the exhaust. How the tabs tie into the doublers on the inside of the floor would be nice.

Thanks
