FWIW, I know at least two of us that have no ice mode issues what so ever. I also know that many folks have issues with it in all kinds of cars, and I don't in the same cars (Mustang, Corvette, F-bodies).
I spent the last 7 years surprising autocrossing and tracking a car with no ABS. I guess it wouldn't surprise me that there's braking habits that may not play well with a commodity ABS system, but come on - this car has "sport" in the name. It shouldn't freak out because I put sport tires on and drive it sporty.

The Boss 302 Laguna Seca I drove for the first two months of the year gave me zero issues with ABS, and neither has any other car I've ever driven (too many to list). Not convinced this is all on me. If someone has concrete driving suggestions to offer, I'm listening.
