Is that what you're telling us?
Or you get better acceleration when you control spinning with your throttle foot instead of the TCS controlling spin?
That's possible, but requires great skill (or luck).
It's the same argument with (or against) ABS.
When motorcycles started adding it, most riders were against it, w/o even trying it. Then add a professional racer or two performing better stops with it turned off, and that's "proof" that ABS is bad.
I'm quite sure that most people, under most conditions, (in most vehicles) will get better stops using ABS.
TCS is similar (IMHO).

p.s.
My limited trials with ESP made me a believer, and I'd love for my wife's next car to include it.
