I turned VDC off once. I **** my pants and had itchy butt crack the rest of the day.

So that link vacuumed. A google turns up....

Vehicle Dynamics Control
VDC enhanced vehicle stability and improved performance in emergency avoidance maneuvers regardless of the road surface or weather conditions. Working with the antilock and traction-control systems, VDC could reduce engine torque or apply individual brakes as necessary to stabilize the car under severe cornering situations.

For example, if the car were understeering in a turn, VDC could reduce throttle and apply the brake to an outside rear wheel to bring it back to the driver's intended path. Or if the car were oversteering, VDC could brake an inside front wheel to correct the potential fishtail and bring the car back into line.

Very Delusional Control

i like it when the rear slide a bit when i make a sharper-than-normal turn so i usually turn mine off. The throttle response does seem a little better (not significant) when it is off.

the only time i turn it on is when it is raining

Thoughts?

my VDC stays off and wired the YAW sensor to turn off when I switch to manual mode on my auto. There are no noticeable performance improvements but the driving experience is what it should be. You have to stay alert and in control, just like the muscle cars of the past. It will definitly let you do whatever you want it to do, and will remind you quickly if you've gone too far

It is designed to stop those who are prime candidates for a "Darwin Award" from actually receiving the award.

There is no percentage in turning it off unless you track your car.
