It's a nice safety feature for the careless random driver who bought a Z for looks, but the way it operates it has no business being engaged on a sportscar being driven properly. I sometimes leave mine on for everyday driving in rainy conditions on unknown roads, where perhaps I can't predict every puddle I might slip on. But, IMHO, it's hard to accept any complaint about the throttle/engine/etc with VDC engaged, especially for remote diagnosis over the intarwebs. Step one is turn that button off and reproduce your scenario.
It is NOT the VDC. Repeat it is NOT the VDC. When it is hot outside the car flat out falls on its face off the line. Now that we are seeing cooler temps outside, no bogging or delay whatsoever. I run the Z1 34 row cooler and never see oil temps above 200-205, even in 110 degree PHX summer temps. When it is warm outside, the car bogs 100% of the time...including when the VDC is switched off.
