The stopping distance is improved on the ABS cars - mainly cause dodge was able to add more rear bias given that the computer could unlock the wheels.

Go with an 01 or later car with new pads and you won't be disappointed.

As a side note, I've been in an 01 with the StopTech 4 wheel kit and it is the most impressive braking car I've ever been in (short of a race car). You have to hold your eyeballs in.

The ONLY thing I would change about my 99 is I would like the ABS, but once you learn to threshhold brake well, its not as big a deal. Like you said though, its the panic situations where ABS is nice.
