I have. 5th to 2nd (instead of fourth) at 108 MPH at Willow Springs decelerating for turn 2. Did a full donut but I'm very lucky I didn't overrev the engine. An oh shit moment not for the donut but for the thought I might have done some serious and expensive damage. I didn't due to a combination of factors (luck).
Why I was in fifth I have no idea so don't ask

Has it occured to you that if you are in ABS your tires are now providing the maximum amount of braking traction available? It is not possible to out-brake your tires. Since the brakes can provide enough force to get into ABS, this whole "engine-braking helps slow the car down even quicker" argument doesn't hold any water.

I do want a bbk...and YEAH I will need it when i'm on the track
With this car having the right fluid and a pad upgrade can go a very long way.
Save you money and try that before a BBK. The s2ki marketplace has an assortment of pads that can work for whatever your doing. If you can sufficently kill a set of Cobalt race pads (gt-r front, vx in back) in a couple of sessions then you might need a BBK.
