Vdc
 
When you guys drive, do you guys have your VDC on or off?

this has been covered more times than i can count. but... to answer your question, you should expect many responses saying yes and no. the car can be daunting for the first part of ownership, especially if it is your first high horsepower RWD car, so for that portion, i would most definitely recommend keeping vdc on. after you've learned "limit" so to speak, try driving around with it off.

I no longer use VDC, except when it is wet or when im on the highway, just for the added sense of security. any other time it is off.

There is really no good reason to have VDC off when you're driving on city streets. Some will argue that it's intrusive and potentially dangerous in the event you have to accelerate quickly to jump across traffic, but I'd suggest you probably shouldn't have made that move in the first place. I do sometimes turn off VDC on the street if I just want to have a bit more fun in a safe, remote area (shame on me). However, keeping VDC off at all times while city driving is just asking for trouble as you're removing a driver aid designed to keep you and others safe.

If you find you're getting the urge to 'drive at the limit' or drive aggressively, go sign up for an autoX or HPDE and then switch off VDC. There is no role for driving at the limit on public streets.
