Yeah not at all. I've done that before in the winter where it gets a little wild off the line, but I get it back into control.

I had it off in the rain driving home from the meet in Columbia on Saturday, had a nice little drift going around the "traffic circle" onto MD 100

VDC off its like having sex without condom on. Do not have sex without it just because other people tell you it's fun.

When you have a good understanding about car control and you are able to control it; or you feel like you wanna try it out and be prepared for it. Try it at the track or open space first before doing it on public roads.
