I drive in Sport. ESP off can be to risky, and you have to really pay attention, especially if your car is tuned.
Now if you really want a adrenalin rush, drive in dyno mode.

I tend to leave it in Sport mode unless I want to roast tires with it fully off.

Dyno mode removes all traction control and stability control.
You can get into the menu by holding phone answer key and Ok key at the same time for 3secs. Make sure your menu is in trip mode.

No stability control is still on.
When you put it in Dyno mode, a bunch of red and yellow warning lights that your should never see come on.

Stability control uses all your brakes not just rear. It was originally develop for SUVs rollovers. Take your car to a road course and get it out control and stability control takes over, you will know it is working when the windows go up automatically.
