I do not think the DSC came on. I did not feel it anyway. I think the difference between me making the curve and not the other guy is a combination of different things. A young guy with not much experience (he was 21) with a Camaro (not the best car on curve) and a 47 years old timer driving a great handling car. I have been impressed by my X several times but this time I owe it a lot. In any case I was going too fast at night on a small road, proof that you can be an old timer but still do mistake.
