One of my favorite cars was a 996 series GT3, which has no stability or traction control. I put a lot track and road miles on it without incident. I think the fact is, experienced or well trained drivers will learn any car's handling dynamics, regardless of electronic gadgets. Conversely, those of us ill prepared to drive, will find a way to crash a Prius. IMO, DSC is a useful tool on the street, as it can do things that cannot be done by any driver, which can save you in an emergency situation. Depending on the specific application, it can also by useful on track. But, anyone interested in learning high performance should put in a lot of time without it.
