DSC off or on? While driving spirited or hard luanching?

[Obey the Speed]

Is the DSC system on our cars inadequate? The fact is that most people out there are noobs when it comes to driving and will overcompensate when shit hits the fan. The DSC system is meant for them. Also the street has a lot of variables that are simply not there at the track or ax. So I say keep it on in the streets and turn off at the track/ax where you can safely learn how to control the car and recover from a slide.

The one time I turned it off in the street during some spirited driving, my back end kicked out, went into a drift and simply ran out of room. I hit a curb sideways (front hit first) and broke both wheels on that side. I have taken that turn more than a dozen times before but this time my line was different due to VARIABLES. I am sure that with the DSC on I would have never went into the drift. Also more skills would have helped, but thats exactly my point.

With that said, i hate it when it kicks in at a hard launch.

Tip of the day: do not turn dsc off if you're going down hill on a snow covered road, lol. You will not be able to stop. I was at a walmart and decided to see what it would do, the exit was on a fairly steep hillside and I couldn't stop, it was kinda scary cause I had just gotten the car. at least I didn't hit anything. lol fail.

That doesn't sound like DSC, that is the ABS not working properly.

I had this happen to me at the snow as well, all 4 wheels locked up and I didn't notice. The ABS thinks the car has stopped and doesn't do anything, car keeps sliding.
