Wikipedia question

Just having a browse on wiki when I saw this:

 

"Despite its curb weight, in 1994 the MKIV managed a remarkable skidpad rating of 0.98 lateral g's [2] due in part to a four-sensor four-channel track tuned ABS system with yaw control whereby each caliper is sensored and the brakes are controlled individually according to the speed, angle, and pitch of the approaching corner."

 

Now is it poor wording, or is it suggesting that the Supra has stability control?

Bad wording. There is no yaw control (as you well know ;) ), but the UK spec ABS control system does have control over the individual brakes.

 

Apparantly the UK does have yaw control according to Chris Wilson, well that's how I understood it as when Pete told me at Blenheim Palace meet last year. I may have got it wrong though, hopefully Pete or CW will confirm :)
