If turning off the VDC means you are going yo crash in a wall then I can suggest some low horsepower FWD or AWD cars you can opt for. With the summer heat, good tires and a real drivers skill, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to drive with the VDC off.

If you can't keep a sports car stable without the saftey equipment activated, then you basically don't belong in one with or without the safety equipment on.

Too many people want high horsepower sports cars, but no one wants to put in the driving time and learn the techniques of driving them before aquiring them.

On that note, whenever I am merging in my G, I throw it in manual, I get instantaneous throttle response on the paddleshift. Should be the same for the Z.

You probably shouldn't be driving. My normal sequence when I get into my car is buckle, start, turn off VDC, turn on cruise.

Big thanks to m4a1mustang who advised me to clean the MAF with CRC MAF cleaner. I did that and replaced air filters-pretty dirty after 11 months and some leaves and debris in the boxes. My Z is running like new again.

Glad that you sorted it out!

IcedZ · 07-07-2010, 07:18 AM

Any fixes yet, m4a1?
I will take a look at air filters / MAF's later today...

The world of emission and drive by wire, the computer opens the throttle gently rather than snapping the plates open for emission purposes. I have been saying that the 370 feels like it has less throttle response than my 350, I am starting to think I am right

Cams no problem, although you needed to do your own coolant flush

any way to fix this problem?

After getting the uptune, my throttle responce was much faster and crisper.

also running without a thermo,my oil temps are struggling to get up to 180.so apparently,the rad is big enough but the thermostat is causing high coolant temps with spirited driving where as now,i can do all the spirited driving i want and not feel any power loss.so its too hot or too cold lmfao !

I just bought a Mishimoto Thermostat which opens at 150 degrees.

Should be installing next week.

You havent gotten any CEL with no thermostat?
