“VDC” System on 2013 370Z
I recently purchased a 2013 370Z (Touring / with sport suspension and A/T). When the VDC is on, regardless of road surface conditions, it feels like the "VDC" is constantly inhibiting the motor mapping. With the "VDC" off the drive train pulls much harder. Other than snow or severe rain conditions, why would you use it?

most of the time I'm just cruising around so VDC on or off doesn't really make a difference to me. I don't really feel like the VDC is slowing the car down constantly.
also, I'm usually too lazy to go out of my way to press the button and turn it off hehe I only disable it the rare occasion I'm drifting Tokyo-style or want to launch the car with a lil extra wheel spin when I need to run 9's

It has no effect on the engine mapping, ask UpRev. But you will see it step in if you have a hard shift from 1-2 or 2-3 (chirp), or attempting to apply power mid-corner that results in inside wheel-spin. If you're just cruising it is a good idea to leave it on, it can react to the unexpected quicker than you can.
