Ice mode is more prevalent during pedal dance because you're switching the ABS to single channel mode, it's dumber and reacts in a 'safe mode' when it thinks you're on ice. Ice mode does exist in all the other ABS modes, but the ABS is acting more intelligently so the threshold for ice is much more accurate. I've never felt ice mode in a standard mode, but I have activated it multiple times during pedal dance.

I found I could brake around the potential ice mode with a more progressive braking application but found no extra speed vs the regular 5s tc off button press. The lack of electronic brake biasing does allow for more weight transfer and turn in rotation but my car is generally set up to not need that and the auto-lsd feature doesn't slow me down, I can feel it, but that's only when I'm doing dumb things. Note this is autox experience, would probably re-evaluate if I get back into track because everything is a sweeper.
