Default ESP came on at 120mph

This is the first time I really open her up since the ESP retrofit. There was a slight decline to the right when i was done 120mph. I have done this a couple of times, only this time my tires are abit worn down(still legal, just less tread)

Supposely, your are not suppose to take the foot off the gas in those turns. ESP light came on and i freaked. What went though my head was, 'ESP braking my wheels and I go flying into a wall from a fishtail.' But none of that happen. Light turned off after the turn and I didn't notice anything different. Did ESP save me from a potential accident? Who knows. What I do know is I need to get new tires.

Well letting up on the gas deep in a turn can be leathal so yes it MAY have saved your neck. But I suppose you will never really know.
This was why esp was reto-fitted in the first place.
