I say avoid getting "on it a little too much." That counts as driver error in my book, VDC on or off.
And now begins the debate as to which is faster; Accelerating smoothly with no wheelspin, or controlled slipping of the tires.

I never said that I couldnt et the rear of the car to come out. All I'm saying is that if you know what it feels like to get a car sideways and keep it there with NO traction control, VDS, ABS an what ever other driving assists their are. And u get in a z and try it it is a world of difference. I can hands down feel the traction control kick in. Wether it's the abs applying a little brake to control it or it's killing power Idk but u def can feel it.

F*^^ vdc.... Lmao

But I leave it on unless I know I'm going to be using the car for what it can do.

I mostly leave it on, but turn it off once in a while. It has its uses. For example, the other day a guy in a G35 turns right on red right in front of me (plenty of room behind, but nooooo), then stops with his left signal on 'cause he wants to move over into the next (logjammed) lane. I simultaneously whipped it around him on his right, redlining it, honking the horn and flipping him off. With VDC off, I'd probably have to skipped either the redline engine note, the horn, or the finger. It would have been tragic!

Because VDC is more interesting than cabin noise?
