VDC not very intrusive?

i think if you keep the car stock it would not be intrusive. most of the time i keep VDC turned on. it's when you start modding and altering all the parameters the program starts to over react.

this is yet another reason why im not messing with the suspension on this car. it's fine the way it is for street.

I got to be honest, I have never left it on for an extended period of time in the Corvette or any sports cars I have owned. I remember I forgot to turn it off once at an autox, it still drove better than the 370 where it can barely move even after you straighten out. The only reason why I compare to the Prius is because I can't turn the VDC off on that.

You have a point there. My car is mostly stock, but I do have bigger and grippier tires on it (pretty much same diameter). It might be why the system is flipping out. I can get the lights to flash doing a 10mph 90 degree turn into a parking lot. I mean I am barely on the gas and the TCS (it's the traction control, not the VDC) is blinking. It is absolutely annoying, I am sure the crappy VLSD on the car doesn't help either.

Oh yeah, the stupid VDC kicked on when a cross wind hit the car at 120mph too. I thought I was seeing things when I saw a light flashing on the dash as it happened
