It's the same as the previous post about airbags, just because my old cars didn't have them, I'm not disabling mine on the BRZ. It's a safety feature that COULD prevent death. Why the feck would I turn that off to go buy groceries?
If it becomes intrusive, and you KNOW you are being safe about where/when/how you are driving, kill the TC and leave VSC on, that's reasonable. Killing all of it to buy a burger at McD's? Not even smart.
What if that one trip has a random dude pull out and you over-correct with it off? You'd have avoided an accident because of that technology, regardless of driving skill. Emergencies don't have guaranteed reactions on your part, regardless of skill/experience.

This.
Thank you.
I learned on 60's and 70's RWD cars. Corvettes, Camaros, Firebirds, Mustangs, 'Cudas, Challengers, Triumph Spitfires, MGs, Fiats, Datsuns, etc.
I leave all the nannies on when driving on public roads. One mistake without them and you may be dead, someone else may be dead, or someone else may own you.
Good luck.
