ABS sensitivity adjustment possible?

[apex944]

I have a 1999 C2 and the ABS is pretty poor for track use. When coming into heavy breaking zones if the front hits any bumps at all.. I wont slow until the ABS gets around to pumping again...it reacts too slow and engages too quickly initially.

BTW, as an instructor and racer for 20+ years I know the pros and cons of using ABS so please no speeches :P

On newer cars you can "slow down" the ABS which delays the point at which the ABS will activate. This allows good drivers to modulate the brakes more effectively without fear of the dreaded "no brakes" episodes like mentioned above.

My question is can this be done with the ABS on these earlier '99 cars?

Is this something my dealer can perform for me?

No, not on 996 series cars. 997 series cars with sport crono do this when you switch to sport mode. As I recall in Sport mode two wheels have to (start to) lock before ABS kicks in.

As I have said before, you might find someone with the knowledge and willingness to modify your ABS system such that it does not activate at all unless PSM indicates that your car, under braking, is not following the desired "line". That would give you total and complete control of braking until actual loss of directional control is threatened, impending.
