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.

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)
