Leave it on for daily driving and for racing because from the sounds of your post, you don't know much about cars, especially your own.

Actually, I would think the point of forums was to discuss things about your car and learn NEW things. ESP however would be in the manual or even on google.

On or off. It does not make a huge difference. Just try it. If you racethe 1/4 mile with esp on and then off you wont see any difference. If you respect the public roads and drive responsibly you car might never use esp.

Aswell doesn't it come on auto. when the car feels any chance of slipping.... that is what i have found with it even off.
