It must have been better than what they put in the Mustangs... its ABS is always disconcerting, the pedal gets harder and it "feels" like it's grinding bare metal on metal somewhere.
I've been told that the '96+ Mustangs got the good ABS. I'll bet that's what my '95 TBird had, since my '95 also had the 4.6L motor that went into the '96 Mustang, while the Mustang lingered on the 5.0.
