The 2.8 when on 16 inch 225 rubber that is a few years old and overinflated goes sideways with just hint of throttle. I was on airfield. Was interesting taking a 'corner' at 70mph...got dizzy trying to count how many times it went round.
top tip, keep the hood and windows up if you going to do that!

To be fair, I have not found the DSC to be too bad as a system, DSC has two parts to it, physical braking of the rear brakes and throttle management, If you switch off DSC half way this will disable the throttle management and by holding the DSC button down for more that 3 seconds will disable both.
Brian, does the dash display show anything different after doing the 3 second thing?
cheers
