If I ever decide to track it, then I'll turn it off.

That said, it's really not that intrusive if you know how to drive. I've seen it briefly flash during the shift from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd with the accelerator floored. That's it.
1-2, 2-3 shifts are easy to activate the VDC and lock the car down for a second or two. 3-4 is situational, but I've gotten the light to flash at me a couple times. Makes me feel more love for the Z.
