Picked it up last night and guess what the sales guy said!!!
Love the car! One intersting bit of info really pleased me (if it's indeed true).
Sales guy said that if you hold down the stability control button for a few seconds (instead of just tapping and releasing) when turning it off (so that the light comes on) it will disable ALL of the intelligent stability systems!!!
I had read posts on here before talking about pulling fuses, etc. If this works I think it will leave the steering system intact.

Oh and the reason I ask is becuase he fed you some Bull ****!!!!!
By holding the esp button down you enter failsafe code in the ECU which says "If Signal + > time then enable ESP Systems & Lock" untill you power cycle the car ESP will be locked on and you are unable to turn it off until you have power cycled the car. So no it doesnt work, in fact it does the exact oposite of what he said. Might want to call him and tell him he is wrong.

I sensed that EDL was working...
When I went two wheels off. Both left side wheels were in the dirt and I accelerated back onto the track. I got no spin from the left wheels but I could tell that I was getting some braking action. ESP was off.
It was a very confidence inspiring moment.

Like I said....
I think part is still working. I think when you turn off the ESP button you do turn off some of the more agressive programming and go to an "0hhh ****" type of program that only acts when things are really wrong.
