Sean is talking about something else. This isn't about brake pedal feel, or brake assist, or air in the lines, etc.

Rather, it's some level of DSC intervening--even with DSC "off"--by braking one or more wheels when the car is getting away from you. Sean had DSC off, and yet the car still seemed to applying some corrective measures. (As he said, very hot and very fast into turn 2 at Thill.) This is similar to having DSC on in turn 2 IIRC (ran both ways in several sessions.) IIRC, Sean said he could feel it through the brake pedal (left foot resting on brake, not engaging it, but feeling it "work", right foot on throttle). I could feel it too--I could feel the car "righting" itself as if braking one or more wheels slightly.

So, the mystery here seems to be that DSC was off, but it seems there's still some threshold at which the car will intervene.
