Absolutely, if the car is always slipping/sliding then the nannies could play havoc with your throttle.

The other side of that coin is when you have decent traction, it does a great job of making sure that you don't lose control/get your car sideways.

With the nannies on, I have tried to take a corner fast in snow and kick the rear end out with no one around and the car always straightens out and cuts power to the wheels to keep/get the car straight. Couldn't do a doughnut with the nannies on if I wanted to, lol.
