The Z will go from slide to spin without hesitation or warning, by comparison.


I can even get a bit of slip/slide out of my vehicle with VDC on, if I do it right... or wrong, heh. The neat thing about the Z is how it will slide a bit, then grip with VDC Off, if you do it just right. Once you get used to it, you can use this to your advantage when taking corners. Not quite drifting, but not quite sliding either. And the momentary loss of control followed immediatly by a hard acceleration sometimes brings a most excellent adrenaline rush. Make sure the road is empty and you have lots of room.
