Car much more responsive with ESP off?
I pushed the ESP button off and was very pleased with the cars performance, it was much more responsive. Is the ESP normally supposed to be that intrusive to negatively effect the performance of the car?

ESP should only cut power when it detects loss of traction or a dangerous dynamic (handling) situation.
I only tend to shut mine off for the occasional tight low speed turn that could use the rears breaking loose a little and not the car lurching over when the power is cut...
