That's another thing that's nice, TC/VDC isn't just on/off like it is with the Z. That all being said, however, you're right that AWD cars understeer more than RWD. That's just basic physics. I remember test driving an Audi S4 years ago and I could definitely feel the difference. I actually considered getting an S4 to replace my Z, but the adjustable center diff of the STi swayed me (not to mention the price differential!).
