That sucks man, but you definitely chose a bad time to turn VDC off. At least your OK. And if it makes you feel any better you're not the first and certianly not the last. Show us pics when all the repairs are done.

I remember one night many years ago. I met this hot babe at a bar and one thing lead to another and she was back at my place. In the heat of the moment I turned VDC off and all I could think about was how dangerous it was but also the thrill of having the full feeling with VDC off was so much better than with it on. The only sucky part was the anxiety afterwards until I got a clean bill of health from the Doc.

well there you have it gents, women are no longer after your money and soul.... they just want your VDC off.

I believe that every Z should not have VDC. What happened to learning how to properly drive an automobile? We have become too reliant on technology to do the driving for us.!

I always turn VDC off. Why? Because I know how to drive a rwd, fwd, awd, 4x4Hi, 4x4Lo and my JD lawnmower. VDC wasn't around back in the day and guess what? Everyone drove around going about their business and there were accidents. For all you pro VDC on folks I have a revelation for you - there will always be accidents with or without VDC on or off. Now get over it and face the reality that VDC on is not a guaranteed accident prevention device that will save your a$$ no matter what.

After thinking about your wreck: VDC "would not" have prevented your wreck. The tires have, to have, traction for VDC to be effective!
"He did a 360 spin, there is no traction", even if VDC had been on, it wouldn't have helped!
"I would like to apologize for my previous snap post"!
