VDC off its like having sex without condom on. Do not have sex without it just because other people tell you it's fun.

When you have a good understanding about car control and you are able to control it; or you feel like you wanna try it out and be prepared for it. Try it at the track or open space first before doing it on public roads.

Or try it on cruises, but watch out for puddles and mismatched tires! I learned that the hard way.

Jay, please refer to Page 1 to see what B1ades is referring to. Leave VDC on till you have perfect control over your car. There's been many instances of people crashing with VDC off. Just look at the video up above for perfect example of guy with poor driving skills with VDC OFF. He almost took down the Hyundai in the process

Just take it one step at a time to kind of ease into it. Turning VDC off will increase the tolerance for you to slide out, but it will still kick in if you go way out of control. Warning though, that alone will not prevent you from wrecking your Z.
