Had a lot to add to that thread and was sad to see it closed.
For ABS I challenge anyone to brake in a shorter distance including dry pavement. I've seen tests with famous drivers and they were about equal.
If I'm not mistaken ABS and ESC are required BY LAW on all motor vehicles. Check FMVSS 105 and 126.
Statistics show ESC is a huge benefit for roll over mitigation.
The government has clear requirements on turning these features off. This is not a GM edict it is from the government.
Kudos to anyone who can out drive and outbrake the sensors and electrons but from what I know those guys get paid to do it.
