VDC is very sensitive. It's a safety device, mine kills power from a 4-3 downshift sometimes. You could always buy that GTM traction control management system thing :P

What air pressure are you running? Mine barked the other day for no reason and I found I only had 31 pounds in one tire. Pumped to 35. Problem gone.

I occassionally turn it off when its safe to but I do expect to be able to put the foot down in a straight line and accelerate smoothly when it's bone dry and there's no wheel spin.
I wouldn't expect it either, this is wrong, never in a straight line. I would expect this if I got on the gas a little too soon.
