Thinking you need to "outdrive" the computer and turning off VSC on public roads will get you into trouble. In fact if you're a novice driver, VSC will make you post better laps on a track.

Also, drifting is what happens when you can't control a car properly around a track (or something normal if you're a fan of dirt oval, rally, or ice racing), so try not to drift the car. It makes you look like an amateur and destroys your tires even faster.
Drifting happens when I DO control my car properly around a track. It makes me look awesome and destroys my tires SUPER FAST and that's the way I like it. I spend probably $2000 a year on rear tires.

I love it when people buy a sports car that is meant to be driven fast and they are concerned about tire wear. If you don't want to wear your tires buy a Prius, I hear those are slow.
