the rental car I had a while back had some sort of an aid for traction control. I used it a few times and agree, it would be best to get used to how that feels so when it happens you know how to react and what to expect. - It caught me off guard and my reaction was probably NOT what the inventer had in mind

have fun, and learn to make it a natural reaction when it kicks in - good idea

The laws of physics are pretty inflexible. PSM is an "assist" - not a cure.

If you do a bone-head maneuver that forces the car to really exceed the grip of all tires, then brakes or not, PSM or not, you're going to spin.

I really like playing w/ PSM as well - especially when you turn it off on snow covered roads. That's when the C4 truly shines.

We're digging out of an early 24" snowfall at the moment, but soon it will be time to go out and play.
