Our cars also don't have much torque and power and since its auto, power delivery is not as abrupt compared to say M or high powered manual cars, so even powering out of corners you don't really feel the DSC interfering hard.  I am sure its more "potong stim" for cars with a lot more torque and power.In this track day, the E90 325i is slow compared to the cars on the track (plus we were novice drivers compared to most of the regular trackers).  I think we were probably averaging 3:05 - 3:10 mins lap times, while guys like Redd was prob pulling low 2:50's.  Walrus Lord was doing about 3 mins flat based on the video.  There was one session, me, Walrus lord and DY went out together, and the E46 330ci is definitely faster on the straights.  He was tailing me for most part of the lap, and started passing me on the back straight, then I braked later, he tucked in behind, and on the front straight, the 330i pulled up again and passed me in full glory.  DY started behind me and Mike was tailing us and went into the pits after the 2nd lap cos his car started overheating already.  So he was also driving pretty hard... but he also had a hot company in the car with him <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
