Never forget: your car, your responsibility. Their input doesn't mean they're responsible for *anything*).

ok im talking about the GTR not the Z .. completely different animals as far has how the VDC works..the entire way the GTR is set up to work is configured around VDC being on or in R mode. its not a baby sitter in the GTR. With VDC R you can get the backend out and even 4 wheel drift corners.. it has nothing to do really with driver skill as its not intrusive enough unless you are at the 99th percential of skill level and are competing in time attack or something. for intermeidate and even up drivers with stock power there is really never a reason to run it off as turning it off takes away the built in failsafes they have for the AWD system. the GTR does not like mismatched wheelspin from different axels. the VDC on will detect this and limit the power to protect the car.. just a few weeks ago we had a guy get denied warranty for his transmission.. i thought that was odd as the denials are few and far between these days.. turns out he was on the skidpad ( drifting sliding doughnuts whatever) with VDC off.. thats the #1 no no on this car. the new 2012/2013s wont even launch with VDC off
