When it locks, it locks both wheels together at the same speed and torque. That will develop a force vector along the vehicle CL which will be an understeer moment in a turn driving you toward the guardrail. To combat this you will have to turn in harder (add more steering lock) and scrub more speed. It just does not sound like the right directon to me (for fwd), based on my understanding of vehicle dynamics. Now, on low mu surfaces, it would be a definite boon (snow, ice, gravel, dirt), but on paved roads, I think it would be a detriment.
IMO, $0.02, YMMV and other disclaimers apply.
