Having read a lot of posts about the lack of PSM in CGT resulting in accidents, I was wondering that does it really matter whether you have PSM or not if you are going over certain speed? Is the reaction time of the PSM quick enough to save the car from spinning? Although not well-publicized, I am sure there are a lot of incidents involving cars fully equipped with electronic aids.

Stability management is governed by computer chips, and nowadays you can pack what was considered supercomputer processing power onto a small low-power chip.
"Reaction time" of a computer is not the real issue here; software design from the standpoint of yaw control would be the bigger issue.

The biggest issue is likely to be whether any computer induced response can "save" the car. This depends on how seriously upset the car is, available grip at each wheel (nothing can happen without grip), etc. There is no doubt that modern stability control can make a car safer. However, nothing can overcome the laws of physics.
