The DSC would actually control brakes etc if it senses that your driving pattern is adnormal. With DSC off, your car would tend towards oversteer slightly(good for racing and drifting). But if you are cornering at high speed with DSC on all the time, suggest you slow down a bit and get used to doing it without it as it can feel very different. Haven't tested on RX8 so couldn't comment but RX7 performed some acrobatics on me unexpectedly. My heart was pumping hard and it was certainly not excitment then...lol

I just got my ride when I returned to SG about 2 weeks ago and straight away on course again so no time to get anything done on my 8. Anyway, I don't intend to do much to it. I know MM has an original Mazda sports exhaust for the 8 which I'm pretty sure would be LTA approved but I'm not sure if it's all that good to be worth paying the $1395 price tag or if MM would even entertain PI cars. Anyway, I enjoy the quietness, don't you?
