Is it possible VDC can hinder acceleration by over-correcting in a situation where there may be no risk? Should VDC be turned off during aggresive (but still safe) driving?

yes!!!

i turn it off during normal everyday driving...you will notice a difference...

i turn it on only in the rain...

Interesting. When I read the description of it, "only in the rain" kept popping into my head...haha.

I have too heavy of a foot to drive without it being on.
