And think about it: If turning VDC off made the car inherently dangerous, Nissan wouldn't provide a switch that lets you turn it off.

VDC compensates for less-skilled drivers or, for skilled drivers, allows you to let your guard down a bit.

VDC off = insanity.... And I do it everyday. However, I can easily see how idiots crash and blame vdc

In 15-20 years nobody will be able to drive, we will have autonomous cars because robots are the only way to protect idiots from themselves

I have to keep it off.

omg why is there another thread about VDC? Why does everyone think that if you turn your VDC off you are gonna crash the car? After a month of owning my Z i disconnected the damn harness because the system pissed me the hell off. I drove it through the entire canadian winter without any issues. Never once did i lose control of my car. Its a god damn $40k sports car with 279whp, not a viper with 500+hp. If people cant hand a 300whp and crash when they turn the traction control off, i got two options for them. Bus or taxi.

it's like buying a roll of aluminum foil wrap, but you only eat microwavable dinners.

Don't judge me!

I find these VDC threads so amusing. My brother-in-law and I were just reminiscing about the old days i.e. muscle car era, a few days ago. He recalled when he walked into a dealership when he was 20 looking for something with some power. He started to look at a Roadrunner. It was a hemi. He passed on it because it had standard steel wheels with hub caps, a bench seat, and auto. Oh, I forgot to mention, it didn't have VDC, abs, launch control, PS, PB, 4 wheel disc brakes, TPMS, etc. However, it would do the 1/4 mile in the 13's with stock tires that were half the width of the front tires on a base Z. He ended up buying a '69 Z-28. It had bucket seats! He drove it year round in Toronto with bias ply tires. Never put a dent in it nor his other cars later on - '67 Z-28 and '72 240Z. Moral of the story? If you know how to drive, you don't need no VDC.
