I do that everytime and the stability too, its so fn annoying to have to do it everytime you start up, dont matter rain snow or clear... Kinda thinking i should pull that fuse, who needs abs anyways probably better to practice threshold braking nstead. I wonder if its a frs/brz suspension setup thing, cause lots of frs owners think your going to crash once all thats off. I never driven the frs/86 so i cant tell if it really feels that much more dangerous turning all the nannys off compared to a brz but in my brz it feels much better in turns with it all off cause i can change my rotation with the steering wheel or gas pedal. When i forget to turn the nannys off and i am a bit too agressive in a turn the stability kicks in and makes me fish tail since i try to counter steer against what the nannys doing from instinct, with them off i can just chirp the tires abit and kick the back around the corner nstead. Maybe i am just use to driving like this from the old ae86, but i really wonder how much the suspension setup difference is when the nannys are off and how the 2 cars behave. I almost never drive at 10/10 i would say i probably avg 7/10 though. I dont even like flooring my car since it feels so gutless to me that i dont want that disappointment, once i get going though i am a try and keep as much speed as i can or go bit faster though the corners within reason, speedlimit, percived chance of the law being around... Different strokes for different folks i guess.
