Ya I still make sure to press vdc off right after I turn the car on. Especially when it's raining. When you have even a decent amount of skill (I by no means am exceptionally skillful) with low traction maneuvers, things are safer when you have the option of right foot steering.
Granted you have to be aware you don't have vdc and adjust your driving habits accordingly. But vdc must be off in order to conduct defensive driving techniques.
I don't want people to be reading this and thinking they're safer with vdc off. Go practice and take some lessons if possible. Know your limitations
Showing off by drifting or power sliding is the number 1 way to crash your car. Besides, that's showing off driver skill than the car itself (which is meant for the track). Show off how well it grips and carves the road (with vdc on), which IMO is far safer than power sliding.
