Torque steer off button

I have been remembering to turn the ESP...what does that stand for anyway? off ( you can do this with the 09s) to see if it made any difference in the torque steer, well the only times I have really been pushing the car with that off is when I have been challenged by some other car, so I'm so busy driving I haven't really been able to remember the feel of it with it off, but I'm certainly
not getting that squirrely back and forth left to right pulling motion I got that one time, so it may be helping, has anyone else tried turning there's off yet?

electronic stability program(ESP). I have an '09 and i have driven with mine completely disabled before.it basically turns t.c. off and turns off the stability program but the electronic braking is still there. the owners manual explains all this. i havent really noticed a difference but i also dont push the car real hard. i can spin the tires alot easier with it off. the only place you'd really benefit from the full off is probably at an autocross course.

with the ESP off you can also go way faster during launching and dropping gears... it doesnt bog the engine
