Woah, I didnt expect to stir up some dusts.
What I mean about what I said is that people are focussing too much on ESP, TC, DSC, ABC, HIW, KYJ, AYC, ACDC, ETC and forgetting other major factors that can prevent serious accidents. |

With the new F430 at Fiorano with their test driver's there's no difference in performance with the professional testers having the manettino switch in "Race" (limited traction and stability control interference) and "CST," (all systems off). When stuff like this hits normal cars though... . More on topic... I had an instance or two, ahem, hehe, in my Fiesta that would've been avoided with ESP. One cost me $310... which was a new tie-rod (front right) and wheel alignment. Wet road + slightly loose surace due to poorly maintained by council wet road + 60km/h + median strip = bad for suspension. Though it was either that or smack a parked car so I think I chose the better of the two.... :(
