Traction control

technically the 370z doesn't have traction control. VDC just prevents wheel slip by killing the throttle.

It does more than that, it will apply individual braking to help balance the car. Take an off ramp fast enough with VDC on and you will feel it.

I wish. Heck you couldn't be more wrong, the car even has passive traction control. You can hit the VDC button off, ABLS is still active and will prevent you from a nice one wheel burnout

I think to completely get rid of it, you have to remove the brake fuse, but that also gets rid of your brake lights and ABS I believe. If you're gonna do this, please only do it at the track.

I keep my VDC on, but I turn it off when I want to have a little fun and the roads are empty
