Default ASP -- How "Off" is "Off"?

From the Crossfire road tests I've read, I know that you can turn the nanny-like ASP ("automatic stability program") off, but I'm unclear about the extent to which the function is actually excised, or how the system goes about "re-arming" itself.

After clicking the off button, when and how does the system reactivate? When the car is restarted, when you engage the brakes, or everytime you come to a full stop?

Of course, one of the appeals of a close-coupled rear wheel drive coupe is the ability to balance the car in corners on the throttle (and the occasional hooligan fishtailing. There wouldn't be much advantage over front wheel drive, however, if the system reined you in every time you started having a little fun.
