It is true that a  good driver *expecting the stop* can out-brake ABS but 
for someone who is startled they are great.

As to retrofitting, I suspect the hard part would be adding the wheel 
sensors, individual lines are not hard. The other problem would be the 
"brain". Since 1991 GM has made it part of the Engine (now Powertrain) 
Control Module. Before 1991 it was a separate box.

Doubt that I will bother, tires are so good now that it is hard to lock 
them up in the dry and I always buy tires that are excellent or better in 
the rain for family cars.
