What did people do in the 90s before stability control was standard?
They did not crash all the time and kill countless little children
Some did, but I guarantee you, the ones that crashed are the same class of driver who buys an M3 to show off with, even though his driving skills aren't at it's level.
People here act like turning off DSC is the same as playing Russian roulette
It's not, if you know what you are doing
And if you don't, then you really shouldn't be driving this car.

I second and third this! 30 years of driving and not one chargeable accident, with just 1 ticket while cruise control was set 8 over on the NJ turnpike in 1993 and another in 2007 for 10 over on a wide open interstate outside of Phoenix.
I am not a professional driver by any means, but I have a lot of experience with rear wheel drive cars with no driver aids. Sure, I've had a spin or three along the way in my teenage days, but none of those cars had any DSC other than my right foot. Once I get comfortable with my cars, the electronic aids always come off if the road is dry. There were a few times that traction or stability control probably would have gotten my killed. ABS, is about the one thing I truly love as far as driver aids go.
Find somewhere safe to learn the limits of your skills and the abilities of your car. We will all be safer for it.
