Back on the VDC topic, both sides have some fair points. I think the VDC actually is to blame for some 370Z accidents. People drive with it on all the time and it corrects their minor mistakes, never allowing them to feel out the limits and really learn to drive the car. Then when they make slightly larger mistakes that the VDC can't compensate for (basic physics always still applies) they're pretty much SOL, since they've got no feel for handling the car.
That being said, I still think for casual street driving in wet conditions, leaving the VDC on is a good bet for some extra safety insurance. It can save you from stupid situations. I'd still recommend explicitly turning it off most of the time and learning to drive the car though.
