You can always try the car without the ABS before you bin it. Just turn it off. I'm pretty sure you can brake harder without ABS than with it, which I'm sure is beneficial on a track car. 
I agree that ESP is dangerous, especially when it malfunctions. The traction control is also a menace. I got caught out when I tried to launch the S3 out of a junction to make good progress and merge with traffic. I ended up getting halfway into the road not really going anywhere, with an orange light flashing at me on the dash.
The problem was I stopped for fuel and forgot to press the cancel button before I drove off.
Lucky we don't have that rubbish to worry about on the S2.
