Agree. There's a tight U-turn I have to make near my house on a regular basis. With TC off, I can get the car to turn in the space available easily (no, no drama, no fishtailing, no screaming tires... just getting the rear-end to flick around).
The one day I forgot and left the TC on, I nearly curbed my wheel.
TC and stability control are
useful when road conditions are bad out... this I will agree with. However, I feel more and more people (and manufacturers, and insurance companies) are treating them as a substitute for good driving skills. Skills that I've spent more than half a lifetime acquiring. I never had stability control on my RX7, WRX, R32 GTR, Mustang Cobra, etc... and never once wrecked those cars, nor even came close to doing so. And that's because I've learned how to drive properly.
