how? not sure. just left off the gas and brake, but people tend to panic or something and tries to throttle themselves out ending up in a ditch, up a tree, a pole, house, signs, mailboxes, cars, buses, trailers, candy vans, bushes, ponds, etc.

that's what happened:

1) start the Z and turn off VDC: "I am Schumacher..!!

"

2) Z starts to slide without the VDC: "I am still Schumacher...!!

"

3) Z starts to lose control: "Maybe I am Schumacher....

"

4) Z intercourse with the candy van: "I am no Schumacher....

"

Speaking of VDC on/off, I'm glad that you can toggle it! In my 350, if I turned off TCS it was off until I turned the car off and started it back up.

In my experience, 90 degree right-hand turns onto busy streets tend to set off VDC all the time. In these situations I tend to turn VDC off so I can quickly, and safely, get up to speed on a busy street. Then again, perhaps the stock tires just aren't grippy enough...lol.

What? 350z Enthusiast and up have VDC, any car built in 12' and higher years, by law must have sort of VDC. Which in the 370 is also able to be disabled, by default its on when the car starts.

My 2007 Enthusiast 350Z only had TCS.

Oh, yea, TCS then is bare minimum requirements for 2012 for some sort of TCS, whatever the car makers call theirs. Nissan is VDC, Volvo is is ESP, etc, etc.

For Nissan, TCS = Traction Control System whereas VDC = Vehicle Dynamics Control. VDC includes TCS but TCS does not include VDC. TCS only stops wheel spin whereas VDC is supposed to bring the breaks in to keep you from spinning. At least I think that's a pretty good basic way of describing the differences.

That's why I turn it off too. Too many times it's come on for no reason making a turn.

Too late dude, you are now paying attention and spelling correctly. See how much better life has gotten since you left the ricer-wanna-be-gangster SI crowd?
