Yeah, VDC is great, great at sucking.

Here is a map of the same car/driver with VDC on and off. 5 sec slower give or take.



You can see the stupid VDC going nutty despite driving at a relatively slow pace.

A good VDC system doesn't intrude under normal driving, which is something the 370 can't do. My Prius has a much nice unit, it truly doesn't kick in until the car is sliding hard.
