VDC works on each brake individually and on the throttle. The math that controls this is really complex. The car maker can make the VDC as strict or lenient as it wishes. I give Nissan credit for building a VDC that will keep me out of trouble but won't nanny me and turn driving into a boring Prius experience.

Um, you were actually trying to drift a prius? Other than the lack of power, isn't it also fwd? How would the rear end spin in the first place?
