Yep,
I have.
Two events now.
Went from pretty sketchy, lifting rear wheels and wondering how good Lexan is as a sled - to Pretty Decent!
I have disconnected the Stability and compared times.
1st event, nearly equal.

Above is the proof, only time #3 was ESP off.
#3 was better than #1 and #4 but but not by much.
#s 2 and 5 had a passenger and that was death to the times.
ESP off, felt dangerous and I quit the experiment after one round.
Today, three and a half (3.5) seconds improvement!
The only engine mod was the new pooper but the time difference isn't a matter of increased power.

7 runs.
1st two with ESP on.
Stuck at 76 sec.
Took off ESP, TC and ABS for all runs after.
The 72.2 was a nicked cone but the 72.7 was clean.
Rear wheel lift was gone. In fact, I'm told the front was getting light like it should - think old 911 stance.
The car did not feel tippy and even started to slide a small bit - mostly a push under power still, but manageable with some hint of rotation on lift.
