took vdc off

I don't understand how people say not to turn VDC off when DD. So when do you recommend VDC off? When your spirted driving or tracking? Get where I'm going?

I understand what your saying. I guess its just safer to have it on rather than off, especially if there's no reason to have it off. When you're spirited driving or tracking, you are expect the car to slide a bit and you are prepared for it. If you are DD and have to swerve to avoid hitting something at high speed, you may not be completely prepared. In this situation, you may lose control if VDC is off, but leaving it on may save you. Of course this is just a hypothetical situation, but something like this is the reason I choose to keep it on most of the time. It's better to have it on and not need it than to have it off when you do. Just my

Well, not surprisingly, there are a lot of people driving high-power RWD cars that don't understand one bit about physics and how it relates to a motor vehicle. For those people, it's probably best to keep all of the electro nannies on.
