Why does everyone on this forum say never turn off VDC? The first thing I do every time I start my car is turn it off. I've never had any problems, I DD and track my car. I just am smart enough not to floor it in the middle of a turn in the rain.

![]() Truth is since it's my first RWD car, I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'll probably do a beginners HPDE event in spring so I can learn the legal and safe way. |

![]() ![]() We were given a loaner Z after purchasing ours while waiting for delivery. It had extremely bald tires, and my first attempt at sliding the rear end around was seriously excessive and taught me some respect for the car. I regained control without incident but it was way more than I was expecting or going for. I have practiced and learned a lot since then.

At HPDE to "learn the track" I did a few laps with it on. It cut power down most of the straights and I quickly learned you MUST turn it off for HPDE. Car is very predictable and I felt safe with it off. That said, it was HPDE so I was going maybe 7/10ths
