I always run the TC on my Mustang on the street unless I'm REALLY trying to hoon it. It allows for a reasonable amount of side slip and wheel spin before intervening, but when it does, man, it DOES. I always turn it off when autocrossing since I'm in a controlled environment.
Personally, I think as long as you can turn it off it wouldn't keep me from buying a car. I also would absolutely not disable the ABS on any recent vehicle. I realize that a well trained entusiast can outbrake the ABS system and that there are conditions that negate it's effect, but other people occaisionally drive my car and I live in the south. The circumstance where it helps outweigh the circumstance where it hurts. Again, my opinion on what seems to be a touchy subject sometimes.

exactly.. as per turning off the ABS in my saab.. it would be on for 99.9% of the driving I do... but after this winter, I realised how much faster you stop in snow when you can lock the wheels and make a snow plow out of them
