It was pretty wet/rainy out on the way to work today. I decided to test out the vdc system. I was rolling in 2nd gear at about 30-40mph, I went close to WOT and I noticed the rear wheels break loose. The rear pitched a little to the left, but the slip indicator light didn't come on and it didn't feel as if VDC engaged at all. I tried multiple times from a rolling first gear start, and I was able to break the tires loose without the slip light flashing/VDC engaging. This was with VDC on. Shouldn't the slip light flash/VDC engage when it detects wheel spin? I mean I've seen it flash before even when I felt no wheel spin in the dry. I figure when I can actually feel the wheels break loose it should engage right?
