I personally dont see any reason to turn it off while driving on the street, which is exactly where I want to be safe as possible. If I was on the track or somewhere I could check it out and see exactly how much difference there is then I would have it off. I think too many people hop into the car and immediately think I dont need anyone helping me drive I know what the hell Im doing. I think respecting the vehicle and learning what it is capable of is the first thing that should be done. I know we throw the phrase "spirited" driving around, but we dont live in a "closed set". Be safe out there folks its not just you, you are endangering.
As far as selling it, I dont know that I would of gone that far. You can have a wreck in anything. It sounds to me like you were a little gunshy, and just werent happy with it anymore. The first time I low-sided my bike, the best advice I got was "get back on it right away". If you let doubt and fear set in then its very hard to get over it.
Anyway sorry to see your Z go, but you gotta do what you feel comfortable with.
