I'm curious....what's your take on VDC?

Mine? I leave it off all the time.
I tried an experiment once. Turned off the VDC then floored it while turning left at a stop sign. Car drifted hard, did a 180 and almost ran into a telephone pole. Needless to say, lesson learned lol...

do the same thing whenever i get the chance to do so and it is safe to do so, i learned really quick that you need to turn into the drift and apply throttle at the same time, works everytime and puts a big grin on my face everytime

You can do a 180 while flooring the throttle and turning the wheel from a stop with just about any car.

The 370Z is NOT a difficult car to drive. Don't use the throttle like an ON/OFF switch and you will be fine.
