VDC off???

Q8y_drifter · 09-02-2010, 05:28 PM

Even the pro drivers use brakes during a drift.

^rly...?
Didn't know applying the brake pedal would be a benefit during a slide since it does apply the brakes to all 4 tires.......

I hope you are talking about the handbrake use and not the brake pedal..

There are ways of adjusting brake bias. I would guess drifters shift bias towards the front wheels to help make a tighter line.

Right. but since we are having this conversation about a street car that is designed to make the car stop efficiently not to do small adjustments while drifting, i dont think anyone is going to use the brakes on the Z to make those adjustments. If you are hoping to make any adjustments with the brake pedal in the Z then get ready to say hi to the closest wall around.

Yeah, the average driver is going to stuff it into the nearest immovable object if they push the brakes while the rear is sliding. I think drifting is a stupid "sport" so I could care less what happens when the brake is pushed while sliding. As long as the computer controls will not interfere with me when I'm on the road race track I really don't care what they do, or don't, do.

If when VDC is off I can still late brake into a corner and initiate rotation, I'm fine with that. If computer controls screw up my line... then I'm getting an Evo X next. My last car was a base model 350Z with no VDC at all. I sold it due to school finances, I didn't wrap it around a tree, in case anybody is wondering.

Well having lots of experience with G35 now the Z which has the same VDC and traction control, i can guarantee you that it will not interfere (VDC off) when you are trying to brake late into a corner or exit with the opposite lock completely engaged at 75 mph......

BeauNC · 09-02-2010, 08:55 PM

Cool, then I'm still sold on a 370Z.
