6spd · 02-27-2011, 05:47 PM

Yep.
I also live life one quarter mile at a time.

Everytime I crank my car I hit the off button. I wouldn't do it in the rain, but I never drive mine in the rain. I do take driving serious though even if it is just to cruise. My feet and hands are my VDC.

Never really understood all the hooplah surrounding VDC off. I turned it off quite a bit and never had any issues. A car is like a gun. It's not going to rocket out of control as long as you don't pull the trigger.

Dreezy562 · 02-27-2011, 06:01 PM

so what if you aim the gun and then shoot?

ya in the rain seems stupid if its easy as it is to spin them on dry pavement.

Well, then 99% of the time you'll go in the intended direction of travel.

I usually kept VDC off 75% of the time in the dry because I found it to be pretty intrusive. In the rain, though, I liked to leave it on as a little bit of an insurance policy.

i usually turn my VDC off after hard day at work. Its sure does relieve stress! Coming off those corner just feels exhilarating.

Start button.....and VDC off!! every time! always in all of my cars! I like the car to do what I WANT it to WHEN I want it to

but....."A man's GOT to know his limitations!......AND his cars

Pretty much this.

b1adesofcha0s · 02-27-2011, 06:53 PM

Hmmm, I haven't turned it off yet because I've been afraid of losing control and crashing. I think I will try it out today on my way home from work. Don't wanna do anything too crazy, just wanna get a feel of the car.

I agree with this 100%. I am usually to lazy to take mine off but did today and didn't notice a difference.

I suppose if you've never driven a fast RWD car with no electronic support the Z can seem scary (please no WS6 stories). Just remember to be careful if you don't have experience, especially in colder climates with summer tires.
