"NHTSA also must decide if it will permit off-road vehicles like Jeeps to have on/off switches for ESC. While the system helps prevent accidents, it also inhibits performance, especially for off-road vehicles."

Hmm. I see an expanded market for chips which disable ESC. In a power slide reading road signs through the passenger window is a feeling everyone should experience.
