ESP and ABS are (in the USA) federally mandated to be on ALL vehicles come 2008.

These are required by law... what you do with them after that is up to you.

To the turning off traction control for 'Dirty Donuts'... Woody actually was able to turn off the ESP entirely (hack or disconnected module and sensors). I will be doing the same soon for a little 'fun' in a circle as I bid farewell to my old tires.

I WILL put it all back for daily driving though as those systems are there for a reason. Loosing control of a vehicle in a crowded urban environment = bad. At the track I may even get brave enough to turn off the traction control by it's switch, but I have a ways to go to get to the point where I will disable ESP while on the track... I mean I still have to learn how to trail brake!

To each their own... but be safe... *HUGS*
