I was wondering the same thing. I'm not sure if VDC is supposed to engage with wheel spin while traveling in a straight line. I notice VDC engaging whenever I try to power out of a turn. My rationale was that the LSD would attempt to correct any wheel spin when accelerating in a straight line, and that VDC was most active when it detects the car not traveling on the intended path based on steering input/yaw sensor. Anyone know for sure how the VDC system is programmed to work? Also, is the 370 equipped with an electronic TCS system in addition to the VDC? Or is the VDC supposed to take care of both duties?
