It is NEVER reasonable to test the limits of a car in a public road. Especially around a corner where there are cars coming from the opposite direction. From your post, it seems like you disabled a SAFETY feature of the car in public roads and created an UNSAFE situation, so therefore the car is at fault for being RWD? Turning off Traction Control off is for when you're stuck in the mud, or in a safe environment like AutoX or the track. Not sure I understand your fear or your logic here. Sorry for being a tad harsh, but had you experienced a skid or spin-out in AutoX, I would be encouraging you to practice more like the rest of the posters.
