I drive a lot on slippery surfaces. My car has stability control from 7-8 years ago. I’m sure a lot has improved in that time, but it is very obvious that the stability control in my car is more about trying to “rescue” me than assist me. Meaning, it will interrupt normal flow to “correct” more than it will assist.
If you extend the envelope for what driving dynamics you can handle I would imagine you could make a much more smooth and safe experience.
That being said: I’ve driven somewhat newer cars on wet race tracks, at speed, and I have to say I’m a bit impressed with how well they behave under stress. Still meddlesome, but not as dangerous as they used to be.
(But track use in slippery conditions are outside the envelope for a road car, so you’re better off with the assists turned down or off to avoid surprises)
