My biggest gripe with stability control in a sportscar is that it actually makes you less of a driver. It doesn't allow you to learn the abilities of the car, or, to hone your own abilities.
Here's two cars that can corner equally well: one's foolproof n' done by computer n' the other's done by good ol' seat-of-the-pants skill.
I know which one I'd pick for my wife n' daughter (n' I know that they'd both slap the @*#& out'a me if they read this), n' I know, without a doubt, which one I'd want to spend my time in.
I didn't spring the denaro for some computer to have all the fun. They got video games for that.
Be well.
