Driving aids or "nannies" are part of the reason cars are getting so much HP these days and why people who shouldn't be buying them are and then spending money making them even faster. I think it's crazy that people think the E9x M3 is too slow and that supercharging it is the only solution. I bet if the M3 didn't have DSC, they wouldn't think the car is too slow.
I've been driving with DSC off completely on the street for about 6 months now (and at the track for the last 5 years), and my driving has changed for the better. When I drove a friend's 991 GT3 at the track, I was actually able to say, "this car is too much for me to handle" because I don't enjoy driving cars that do the work for me. All while 991 GT3 owners are driving at the track with the nannies on and saying how easy the car is to drive.
I do think driving aids are good for the average driver. But I'd love a world where sports cars never had nannies so you'd buy the car that you felt comfortable with your driving ability.
