I have noticed the same thing about the car being more spirited with it off, to the point where I've been thinking about rewiring the VDC to be in the "normally off" condition.

If you learn how, would you please let me know how you did it please.

On for the twisties? Interesting. It is exiting a corner when I'd most want it off anyway.

I used to be one who left it on and was scared from hearing the stories, I remember turning it off first time and gunning it in 1st on a turn, lol....wooooooooooo...almost lost it...

But now, its off all the time, I only fish tail or slide when I am 'trying' so I have obviously learned how the car behaves much better. Knowing how to take a corner helps too lol
Those stories had me thinking I'd crash for sure. When I did turn it off, I found out the 370Z is a car, not a ticking time bomb.

To those who told stories such as this I offer you advice that is just as good. Do not use a public restroom or you will become diseased.
