I do sometimes turn off VDC on the street if I just want to have a bit more fun in a safe, remote area (shame on me). However, keeping VDC off at all times while city driving is just asking for trouble as you're removing a driver aid designed to keep you and others safe.

If you find you're getting the urge to 'drive at the limit' or drive aggressively, go sign up for an autoX or HPDE and then switch off VDC. There is no role for driving at the limit on public streets.
well said
