I was coming around a 90 degree turn from a stop and added power to see if the VDC would kickin fast enough, NO was the answer, rear loose 20 degrees off center. VDC on roads were wet. light rain.

VDC seems to look at the throttle setting too much, if you are at anything less than WOT it will let the car spin ALOT before it starts going anything. If you have more power at lower throttle setting, AKA supercharger/turbo or a butt load of bolt-ons, you can get into a world of trouble before it cuts in.
