Yep I've got ABS in the VR BT1, it's done more than it's share of burnouts and I can tell you the ABS still works just fine!

What would doing a burnout really affect within the ABS system?

Pull the ABS fuse out then do it.

No, won't screw the ABS permanently but may set fault codes because, with the rear wheels spinning and the fronts stationary, the ABS computer "thinks" that the front wheel speed sensors have failed. This may temporarily disable the ABS until the sensors are read again.

if this happens, turn your car off then back on again. sorts it out
