What The F*$^ (Traction Problems)

Yeah OP, if mechanically all is good then I say just take it easy. I know that new tires have a coating that cause them initially to be very slippery but that's not the case here. My advice, save for some better tires, the RE05's are good not great, I too have had the back end come flying out on me on cool summer nights while redlining the lower gears with VDC off. I'm not knocking your level of experience but the Z can quickly become a tail happy car with VDC off and cool conditions, a new driver or someone who hasn't taken the time to get a feel for the car will get in trouble. I know its not the funnest car to drive around normally, damn torque doesn't peak till ~4700 but protect your car, yourself and your long term investment, keep VDC on and drive safe.
