Oooh, no, I wasn't advocating locking the rear brakes, or even hitting them very hard, and none of it while turning- that's only for playtime at low speeds in safe areas.

But I've had times where even gentle engine braking made me feel like I wanted some braking in the rear without adding force to the front, much less moving my right foot away from its pedal even for a moment.

I've never experienced ESC, I hate TC with a passion and I consider ABS kicking in to be a personal defeat as a driver. Also, seeing how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT?
