For fun.

No reason to be driving in a way that VDC is really getting in the way on the street though.

:iagree: Honestly, whether it's on or it's off, driving on the street under normal conditions, it should never even be an issue. So, unless you're really gunning it or going round corners too fast, it will never effect you, so leave it on or take it off, it will never effect your drive.

In wet conditions, though, I keep it on due to low traction situations, which is why it's really there to begin with.

Yeah. I notice it cutting power sometimes on the street, which it does really aggressively, but once going, it doesn't really get in the way much.

Can't stand mine, never leave it on. I can't even go up my driveway without it kicking on due to the steep hills and sharp slow turns up the ramp.

I feel the car behave the same on or off,no diffrence.

I would leave it on. I have a similar system on my 'vette (yaw control) and don't touch it. It spins does just fine with it on for 99.9% of driving.

Looks more like a camel than a horse.

My VDC is ALWAYS on. I remember going to the carwash. After coming out from it I came to a stop sign. I made a right turn with normal driving conditions, nothing crazy and the car felt like it spun out!! I think this is because the wheels was still very wet from the wash. If I didnt have VDC on it would have been pretty damn bad. Theres just too much power on the wheels that its hard to control without VDC on.

I can't vote because I'm one of the ones that uses it 50% of the time.

VaGntlmn 07-24-2011 09:00 AM

off 90% of the time (when the conditions are good)

Baer383 07-24-2011 09:17 AM

I have 3000 miles on mine and have never turned it off.


And really don't see a reason to.

SPOHN 07-24-2011 09:48 AM

I get in hit start button and then VDC off. It's a habit now. Also having a great LSD helps with my traction.

Econ 07-24-2011 09:53 AM

yea, im with spohn. I push start, and hit vdc off.

the only time ill leave it on is if its raining. I prefer to not have the cpu drive for me...

Mt Tam I am 07-24-2011 10:12 AM

Always off if I can remember.
I did not have a nanny growing up, so I just don't feel I need one at this age.
