Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Do you drive with Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC) off or on?

You can light the tires up very easily in this car, so be very careful if you are playing around with VDC off.

If you don't have much experience with powerful RWD cars, I'd suggest formal high performance driving courses. Or, you could always find a deserted lot somewhere and play around with the car. Start off by driving some tight circles at low speed with VDC on and experiment with varying levels of throttle just to get a feel for where the car loses grip and get a feel for what VDC does. Then turn it off and have at it.

Whatever you do try to do it as safely as possible... inexperience + powerful RWD is a good way to get yourself (and possibly others) seriously hurt or killed.
