with aids at On, car just stop accelerating, lights flash in the dash, then suddenly i oversteer for like one second, and then the gaz seems to cut.... and, sorry, but i don't find this kind of behavior safe...

we also have something here, wich we call in french Dark Ice... the road seems on the asphalt and everything seems safe, but in reality, there is a thin layer of ice... but you can't see it... you just realise it if you give a shot of gaz..... I want to know when i drive if i should be more carefull, and not just thrust driving aids....

and also, i saw a lot of comment saying *if you think you're a hero* and * keep it to the track*... i'm sorry, but i dont remove those aids so i can drive recklessly... not more than someone who has a mustang 2002, or any kind of other RWD that don't have those aids ....

But this is the Australian thread,and we're talking about driver aids relating to our conditions.
Sure you need to turn traction control off in snow,but that ain't what we're
talking about here....
