That's the reaction I expected.
Reason I haven't owned a modern sports car, as nothing decent (and affordable) has come out of Japan in 10 years. So instead I spent the last 10 years owning late 90's Japanese cars and modifying them.
It actually scares me that so many people here think driving aids are needed on a 150whp 1200kg car.
I've owned 40+ cars, written off 1. That was my fault. I was 17 with a turbo Toyota Starlet FWD (ep82) boost induced understeer off the road. It was my second car.
If I crash the car, I doubt it'll be because I didn't have the aids are on. The aids are there in a modern car to make up the short comings of a typical driver. It doesn't make the car more safe to a capable driver.
I have two other cars with twice the power and less weight than the 86. They have no aids. Heck, one doesn't even have PS or a brake booster. So, yes I feel confident enough to remove the aids.
My post was not intended to brag about being a badass. Rather, it was to give others with a similar level of confidence in their own driving that there is a quick fix, and I provide feedback on the improvements I have experienced.
Too many ignoramuses that have grown up believing marketing spin about driving aids.
Here's a tip, go to the track and learn how to drive, that's the best driving aid and safety feature you can get.
