stevie_350z Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 The only people I know who turn off ESP think they are better drivers than they actually are. Where's Ming when you need him?
ir_fuel Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 On the public road i completely agree with you.
ir_fuel Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 BTW with my previous car i did some laps on the nordschleife. The damn thing didnt even want to accelerate anymore with ESP on when going through Caroussel
stevie_350z Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 ...but you have to admit it is damn sexy driving on a track with ESP off... all that loverly sideways - DAMN THE TIME, JUST DO THE CRIME!
ir_fuel Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 or OFF on deserted car-parks, preferably in the rain Or track-converted air-strips
sl114 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Agree, ESP on for roads!!!! I have done some driving with it off as i wanted to feel the difference, and it does help big time, however like any car, if you are careful with it off, its fine. However if you start to be silly, then shame on you! teehee But for track - off, best way to learn really. Im booking drift school nexy year sometime, probablly April and will boook this too next year when its a bit drier
monkfish Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I've had some BIG tail end slides even with the ESP on in the zed. It's seems to be very slow in reacting. Maybe it's because I'm used to Audi's ESP which did it's stuff and corrected you before you knew anything had happened!!
rickya Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Nice one Sarnie, great driving & happy belated birthday!! ps : Your best post out of 3000000 posts!!

Maybe it's because I'm used to Audi's ESP which did it's stuff and corrected you before you knew anything had happened!! Yeah but where you live its constantly raining and I bet ICY is always shown on your compooter I've had a couple of interesting events - one on a smallish roundabout in the rain + oil + adverse camber, and the ESP was flappin like a good 'un and just avoided my hitting a kerb Best "controlled" skid I had was @ 'Ring when I changed down from 4th to 3rd as I approached a left hander and pulled the clutch out too quick and needed a bit of up and down with both legs...

Sarnie Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 its a kit car - with a bike engine (turbo'd) in it, innit! http://www.daxcars.co.uk/start.htm 9 seconds behind one of them can't be bad, especially as a Noble and an NSX was even further behind me
Removed Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 don't get too excited about the Noble & Dax mate, note the W (as in wet) next to the time.... Well done also on being faster than 10yo+ cars just kidding, mr. Stig
