How do you kill the ABS? Pull the fuse?

I don't like the handling of the car with PSM off. First you get understeer, if you go ahead this turns into controlled oversteer which is fun if within limits, however if you really over cook it - a nasty slap of the back happens as rear weight builds kinetic energy. Unless you are really quick (Wyatt Earp quick) via opposite lock you then crash! Don't do it if grip is poor because; now you have it - now you don't, is the order of the day unless on the track with ample run-off areas!
