Sports cars or sedans with good medium setting stability control systems

[DougoMan]

What RWD sports cars or sedans have the best stability control systems? I want to get a RWD sports car, but given what happened to my last BMW without such a system in the rain, I am thinking stability control might be nice this time around.

Still though, I would like one that lets you get a little bit sideways before kicking in.

I know the FR-S has a good system, and I am seriously thinking of buying that car because of it, but I would prefer a nicer car. Used is fine.

Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure most new cars have stability control now.

The C7 Corvette is probably one of the best at this time in the mortal price range.

My CTS-V has "competitive driving mode" which gives you some leeway before interfering.

2 times I inadvertently caused my Sky Redline to do a pretty ballsy spin out where I probably would have done a 180 if not for for the ESC. But it kicked in and saved my butt from what could have been a pretty serious f up on my part. I don't know the exactly tech specs on the Stabilitrak they used, I'm assuming it's not the same shit found on the Vets or high end Camaros. But I like it, you can turn it completely off or turn it to competitive mode with the press of a button. I definitely notice the difference between the 3 and in competitive mode, as jlee mentioned you get some leeway to have fun but it'll kick in and give you assistance if you do go a little overboard.

In general, GM has always done a good job with stability control. They do a great job when fully engaged and allow it to be backed down to completely off.
