Ok, I see your point amd to a point I agree. Most people can't handle oversteer very well. Which is why single vehicle accidents are the largest cause of death. And why Traction and Stability control are now standard.

But the chassis and suspension are developed and tuned well before the stability or traction control. Which is why I call B.S. on the argument that cars are designed to be driven with stability control on. ABS, Traction and stability tuning is done AFTER the springs, dampers, control arms etc are in place.

Yes, stability systems can be tuned not just to save your from over or under steering, but to help you on the track. And F1 doesn't even have ABS because the focus is on driver skill, not who has better nannies.

But you can turn all but ABS off, and that is not a by-product, it's by design. So that the real drivers out there can enjoy the car. Not the other way around.
