Secondly, I leave ASR on unless I plan on kicking the tires. I like being able to do a u-turn and just hammer it, and know that it'll kick in and not just spin the tires and "burn rubber" but just allow me to kick it around and speed off a little bit.
It also does help in rainy weather. People who complain that it's some sort of weird safety problem because they pulled out infront of someone and couldn't speed off in time because of ASR doesn't know what they're talking about. Not only does it delay kicking in, but it only kicks in when the rear is spinning unnecessarily. That extra 5% throttle won't do anything but make you spin more.

Normally it's second nature for me to turn it off. When there is a fair amount of snow on the ground it's a different story. There are a couple of steep hills where my father lives and I can drive to the top easily with the ASR on, which tells me it's a decent system. Turn it off and I just spin the tires in the snow. With all the Camaros I had in the past I would have to turn around because they would not make it to the top. It's a decent system for a daily driven Camaro that sees all types of weather.
My father always tells me he wishes his had the system. He has a 95 Z28 with the 96 Corvette Grand Sport wheels, looks good but he can't move it out of the garage if there is snow on the ground.

What? If you're sideways, spinning the tires more is just going to flip you around. If you're already sideways there's NO REASON for more throttle. Lrn2Drive.

The ASR prevents you from being able to have ANY controle of it.

I leave it off for everything.. even in the snow and all. its wayyy to obtrusive and inconsistent for my tastes. It senses just a little wheelspin and engages to such an extreme the car falls on its face. if it happens part way through a turn and you get a little sideways and then cuts in abruptly it will cause you to completely loose control. pretty much sucks. I even changed the tune on my PCM so it doesn't back of timing when the system kicks in but its still just too much.
