It is statically proven that under the same circumstances, the car with ABS will stop shorter, straighter and sooner than you can in a car with out.

Science does not lie.
F1 drivers no longer use a manual trans. They use paddle shifters. Are you a better driver than them as well?
Manuals are disappearing because they are no longer popular. They are disappearing from sports cars because they are no longer popular. According to the latest stats I have read, the computer can shift the car almost twice as fast as you can with nearly no power loss. While your manual may be more fun to drive (I liked rowing through the gears as well) people who race like to win, not have fun, sooooo there is that.

A Corvette is not a race car. It's a street car. 10ths of a second are a completely moot point. I'm not gonna argue over abs. Go mash your abs pedal going into a fast decreasing radius corner and see who gets through it better. You on abs or me trail braking properly. F1 uses paddle shifters because races are won by milliseconds. The cars are so even it's all up to mistakes by the drivers or crew. Paddles reduce mistakes. F1 drivers in the 60s 70s 80s were far better drivers. Come out and take some laps in in my drift car and see what I'm talking about. I know exactly what the wheels are doing in a car when I'm driving it. I can feel it in my ass. Watch the f1 movie about Nikki Lauda and James hunt(can't think of the name right now) he says exactly the same thing. I don't care what you think about old tech or what's popular or any of that. The some fact is that all that $hit is taking away from the driving experience. It's ok if you want or need help driving your car. I don't. Never had a traffic accident because of my driving, never wrecked a car because I didn't have abs or traction control, on or off a racetrack. Never enjoyed a car as much with an auto, but my Subaru OBS in the snow was pretty damn fun. 5 speed would have been better though.
