Surely the VDC is an excellent piece of safety software and its accident avoidance capability coupled with a skilled driver is second to none, BUT in the end. If u r dependant on a computer to keep your high horsepower car in check. Then its time to go back to. Honda civic, chevy cobalt or whatever tame commuter u started off with.
VDC being the end all be all in safety is a failed driving mentality.

And there is the problem. With a car like a corvette, camaro SS, etc., this is not their first real sports car. Guys who move up through the HP ranks have an awesome traction control ... their right foot.
But what I see from this board is that many of the people move up from mommy-mobiles straight to the Z. While it's not a beast of a car, it's definitely enough to get in trouble to inexperienced drivers. I've been a member of a lot of car boards in the last 8-ish years, and I've never seen another car where so many people totaled them in such a quick time.
