The two replies you've received below are pretty valuable. If for no other reason than that they illustrate something very important about answers you get on the internet.
PaulE has suggested that his "performance level is very low", while Topless is among the fastest guys you'll meet on this forum. This is important information to take into consideration as you accept comments, advice, opinion, etc: Perspectives will vary greatly.
Both of them have given you the same place to start though: Make sure your system is working correctly. Start by checking your tire sizes are near factory circumference. Width doesn't matter so much for the PSM to work correctly. If your car is an '02 Base, then, IIUC, you should have something close to a 205/45/17 front, 245/40/17 rear. Again: the circumference is what matters, and specifically their circumference as it relates to front/rear.
From there, I'd also echo what Topless has said about learning to drive within the limits of the PSM. Not because it's gonna make you slow down: on the contrary. Smooth is fast (I learned that on Days of Thunder, haha). But fer reals: if you can keep the wheels pointed where you want them to be pointed, you'll go faster around any given course.
Having said that: There's a certain "hooligan" element. I have it, and it sounds like you have it. It'll probably be frowned-on here by many.... but I like to hang the a$$-end out on occasion as well. The PSM can really suck the fun out of that, if you've forgotten and left it on. haha.
