370Z VDC vs 86/BRZ VSC SPORT-TRACK

The frs' skinny little tires break traction with ease, easier and at lower rpms than the Z. I drove one several times and it was a blast, no Zcar, but a fun toy nonetheless.

I know, I jest.

That was my biggest problem with the Z, the VDC was too intrusive and wouldn't allow enough slip.

As for those saying VDC off, no way in hell. I had Mich. PSS on my NISMO and with VDC off 1st and 2nd would get you dangerously sideways when flooring it going straight. I remember one time I the rear was badly spinning when I attempt to launch the car. And I'm not talking about dumping the clutch or anything. It was more of a roll out of first and then nailing it. So I short shifted to 2nd to attempt to gain traction and it nearly sent the car spinning. Never could figure out why I could never get traction with the car. Was suspect by some on this forum that give my location, Vegas, that the roads were always dusty making it harder for traction.

either way, with VDC on the car was no fun and with vdc off the car had no traction in a straight line. That being said, VDC off during auto-x and it was pure joy. But trying to drag race the car, forget it. My 09 370z was no different but I always thought it was the stock tires. Even tried a 2013 NISMO and it was the same thing.

Ours differentials are garbage TBH, with a new diff and tune you can achieve what you never could with a Z, I've been lucky enough to spin around a very nicely tuned and upgraded Z on an airstrip with a Qualfe Diff, exhaust, supercharged, etc.. and the traction was incredible even with the supercharger kicking in lower RPM's it felt stable and almost like youd handle in a video game

That being said, im sure the OP would gain an incredible amount of control from a ECUTek tune because of the traction control options and a different diff.
