I'm all about car control and smoothness.. If you're not, and the "nannies" are turned on, unexpected things can happen. Usually to save your butt but sometimes surprising enough to get you into more trouble by over-reacting to their attemps to get you back in control. Guys who see their VDC kicking in all the time are not really very good drivers. Too many drift videos out there I guess..and too many stunt drivers on this forum...Sorry I took i out on you.
Hopefully Lou will know what's going on in the morning..

Not to go off-track too badly, but, part of having a car like this one is pushing your limits, and until you find and/or break a limit, you'll never know what those limits are in case you have to rely on them.
That said, the times I get "stupid" with mine, are country roads in areas I travel a lot and have visibility and clear traffic - ie, the only person in "danger' is myself.
And, I've discovered this car acts like the rear end is a giant ball bearing ONCE it breaks loose - it REALLY breaks loose. Going straight is all good, but doing it while turning this car (for a powerslide, for example) it will zip the ***-end around faster than anything I've ever owned.
