i would say the opposite!
i say go to a real track... talk to people that race cars all the time for advice... get on the track and ease into the car driving it harder and harder tell you are all out.
I would NOT advise people going out on the open road with normal drivers to find the "limits" of what your car can do.
there is a reason why drag strips have testing lanes and testing days and road courses have beginner groups.
my 2 cents

I stand by my statement. Learning to race or drive your car aggressively is better done where they have ambulances and trained drivers to learn from.

The problem with turning this stuff off is the warning light on the dash stays on all the time. I can't stand any warning lights on when I drive.
With the systems on, I can peel out x feet. Turning them off, I can peel out for x+100'. Regarding the stability control, it was on one day and I went around a curve at about 50 mph, alot more than normal but it was in a big parking lot. The light came out telling me it was correcting the car and I didn't lose control. Don't know if I would have if the system was off.
The best thing is find a big parking lot and play with the buttons. One secret in driving any car is knowing how it reacts in various conditions.
