saw a segment on the news about the 2012 requirent for vehicles to have anti-rollover potection. The technology uses braking and steering control to reduce the chance of rollover. do you think this will kill autocrossing?

If there wasn't a button to turn off the "anti-roll" then do you guys think there would be something that we could do to disable it such as taking out the fuse for it or reprogramming the car? I have always hated when the car drives for you, the first thing I do when I turn on the TA is to turn off the traction control. I actually think that I can drive better with the traction control turned off in slippery conditions then with it on, I feel that the car is much more predictable and controllable with the traction turned off. Like many have mentioned, it can be dangerous when you try to correct the car manually and the car does it electronically also, that really gets on my nerves when I drive my moms car.
