i'm pretty sure having vdc off would save you there, yeah

LOL...Yeah, one guy killed and at least a dozen cars seriously damaged (and that's just the guys stoopid enough to tell us) with VDC off.... Tells ya something, doesn't it??....

this is probably why car manufacturers are making most sports cars AWD now!

Porsche has 2 AWD models in the 911 range, out of 7, lambos are all AWD now because audi bought them, and there isn't a single AWD ferrari, ever. True drivers cars will always be RWD.

I believe the 408 was a concept that never came out in the 80s...

That's a bit rich IMO. Spend some time at car control clinics, and you'll find the Z is actually a pussy cat with VDC off. It's a handful until you take time to master (or at least get proficient with )RWD dynamics, but after that, it's a ton of fun.

Lol you put my creation in your ava

im gonna wait untill its warmer untill I do a VDC off launch.

I mean most of the time the end breaks loose quite hard even with it on

I am very eager to take some HPDE classes. They are quite expensive though, but worth it over the long haul.

yeah i found this whole "friend turned it off" excuse absolutely hilarious, esp since the vdc always defaults back on whenever the engine is restarted. got caught with their pants down
