I never knew that turning off the TCS (holding dsc button for ~7 seconds) also turned off the ABS.

Also around the 2:20 section when they're viewing under the SS A-Spec... are those stabilizer bars available for purchase or are they custom?

 

Well. Thats once again convinced me never to turn my DSC off except on a track.

 

exactly.

 

What's with that terrible music? Yikes.

 

sport doesnt come with DSC. drive slower in the rain?

 

DSC (or ESC in other cars) is one of the best, if not the best, safety features ever invented. Yes, I am serious.

It's under-appreciated because you never hear about the benefits, because when it is called upon, it prevents a high percentage of would be accidents.

I will never, ever buy a car without DSC again. It's a must have.

 

DSC and traction control are not standard, but they're part of the performance package option. I think it used to be called a base model with the sport package in 2004 and 2005 and starting in 2006 it was called the Sport model wih the performance package. $1300 with fog lights and xenon headlights.

 

I don't think you'll really have to worry about that, at least with new cars. I believe by 2010 (or maybe later), electronic stability control has to be standard on every vehicle sold in the US. Just like TPMS just became mandated this year (I think)
